the concept was interesting and the movie had some funny moments, but I just didn’t really like it.

how does one think of such a concept for a film and it actually gets made?? like someone literally said lets make a romcom with Einsten turning a mechanic into a fake-scientist-genius for her niece to fall in love with him???
