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.

This movie made my all time favorites list. Beautiful romantic comedy about polar opposites being drawn to each other. The acting and music is superb. Just love this one. So much fun to watch.
