Not amazing, but not bad either. The word I'd use is "serviceable". It was an enjoyable rom-com, but it didn't do anything particularly brilliantly. Also, it's essentially just Notting Hill but in New York and with a bodega employee instead of a bookstore employee and Selena Gom- I mean- "Leanna Smart" instead of Julia Roberts.
