PERSONAL COMMENTARY:                                                   

This was a refreshing movie. The concept was new and interesting, and there was a good balance of comedy, horror (more like action and adventure with an extra thrill now and then), and romance. I feel like if any one element was removed, it probably would have been lacking. One thing I did not expect was all the action that was going to be in the movie. I thought there would be hardly any action at all, but there was plenty for a romantic comedy. 

This was probably directed towards a younger female audience, and (maybe) I am considered part of that audience, but I thoroughly enjoyed it anyway. All in all, it turned out to be a very adorable and heart-warming movie, and it's a nice watch. My rating would be 4 out of 5.
