    The Five-Year Engagement

    ★★★

    As predictable as any other modern rom-com, but entertaining based on the cast.

    It does have some interesting twists, but it still goes where you immediately think it will.

    ★★

    Other than the chainsaw-hand, there's really nothing here that is drastically better than the original. Maybe it makes a difference seeing this INSTEAD of the original, but as a sequel, it is really just a retread with (I assume) a higher budget.

    Predictable, but the cast makes it enjoyable. Pretty decent as far as rom-coms go.

    This film is in the middle of something of a scandal after the US distributor put bullshit translated subtitles on the DVD. I made sure to watch it with the original subtitles, and from what I’ve heard, that is the only proper way to see it.

    Regardless, I thought the movie was pretty impressive start to finish. This would even be a compelling story without the vampire element. It is the sort of story that doesn’t get told in American…
