This checks all the right boxes in order to be considered a classic romance film. It has a meet cute between both characters, warm tones throughout the movie, and a 3rd act conflict. But what makes this movie standout is its ending. It ending is both happy and sad in a way. The main characters do end up together, but in a tragic way. Almost Romeo and Juliet.
