The Real Review

People are charmed by this campus romp, with most finding it a genuinely funny, well-acted good time. Spike Fearn and Angourie Rice spark a fun dynamic as Owen and Anna, the musician and psychology student chasing the wrong-number girl Emily, even if a few thought the leads lacked chemistry. The humor is the real star, driving the campus-wide frenzy that almost everyone agrees lands. The main criticism is that the mistaken-identity premise feels very familiar, with some calling the story unoriginal, but the laughs and visual style easily carry it through.
