**The Good:**

The goat is the only funny thing about this film.

There can never be too many films set and filmed on New Zeeland.

----

**The Bad:**

The acting is horrendous and the characters are tiresome stereotypes.

We are supposed to like Gabriela and Jake, but since they lack any onscreen chemistry and their relationship develops in implausible ways, it's just not happening.

Most of the writing is childish in a way that is not funny or adorable but rather annoying.

The story holds back on the inevitable for so long it turns boring. We know Gabriela and Jake will end up together, there's no point in trying to deny the obvious for so long just to prolong the plot.

There are a couple of subplots that run dry before they've even got off properly.

Not even a feel-good atmosphere and friendly Kiwis can save a clichéd, generic and predictable plot.

Apart from a few laughs brought by Gilbert the Goat this film lacks any substantial emotional depth.

----

**The Ugly:**

Where does Netflix dig up these generic as hell romcom titles?
