The title says it all: "This was not what I expected." It was a, let's see this one, spur-of-the-moment film. But it turned out to be quite a jewel. I loved the romance blossoming between the two opposites. There is a lot of nicely executed pratfalls between the two and embarrassing situations that never really seem overdone. While there isn't anything profound, this is a fun, sweet, and light romantic comedy.
