Nola

A bright-eyed and sharp-witted heroine, a cast of quirky yet memorable characters, and a simple but well-defined story makes this one of my favorite feel-good movies, if not my favorite pure Rom-Com movie. Great for casual viewing as well as serious, I'd definitely recommend this movie for multiple viewings; not out of necessity but rather for pure entertainment.

Nola is a sweet movie unlike almost anything else you'll be able to see nowadays. Its subject matter is somewhat dark, but its style and tone make it come across like a fairy tale. Small-town girl goes to New York in order to fulfill her dreams. It has a strong leading performance, a couple of wasted supporting roles, a convenient and forced story, and a dreamlike perspective of how the world operates. For my money, it was fun and enchanting. I think Nola is worth seeing.
