i must admit, i saw this movie. it was very good! when the movie began, i thought that the actors were AWFUL and joking. seriously, the beginning of this movie is so awkward. but as i continued watching, i realized that these actors were very good! i felt bought into their characters and found them extremely convincing. i was absolutely sucked into their romance. so, when i reflected on that early scene later, instead of mentally framing it as "these actors are awful", i instead thought "they were such an awkward couple" - this made me realize that i had been duped. they played an awkward early romance couple so effortlessly that i thought they were awkward actors! still not sure how to feel about being deceived, but the movie was great. 8/10
