I was excited to see Potato Potahto after seeing the trailer mostly because it starred a few actors that I really liked and I was interested in the story. The plot was nice and a bit different from the regular Rom-coms. Although the story isn't so original, they executed it in an almost perfect way. I loved the characters and the cast did an awesome job by bringing them to life. The set looked nice and the soundtrack was perfect. I also loved the fact that the dialogue wasn't so cliche. No movie is without flaws and Potato Potahto was no different. It was too long and there were a lot of unnecessary scenes that could have been skipped. It seemed like they were intentionally stretching it to make it longer. After about an hour, it got tiring and I kept looking at my watch. Nevertheless, Potato Potahto was very entertaining and worth my time. I enjoyed most of it and you can go ahead and see it while its still showing in the cinemas.
