Take a stroll through London with Tom and Eve, two star-crossed young hipsters trying to make sense of their messed up lives, finding solace and comfort in each other’s conversation. Or rather, don’t. In fact, do anything else rather than watch this deeply underwhelming love story.
Someone once said ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’. Well the old rom-com formula isn’t really broke, but this film tried to fix it anyway, by inserting a huge lump of cancer into the plot. Romance, laughs, dates and cancer- oh dear, who honestly thought this formula was ever going to work?
Things start to get all twisty-turny for the mourning Sarah when she happens across a young man running for his life.

Ricardo Darín and Soledad Villamil star in a labyrinthine homicide thriller which twists, turns and generally contorts itself through the corrupt underbelly of 70s Argentine law enforcement. It doesn’t sound great, does it? Well, it bloody is great. So there.
A cute but predictable rom-com with a decent line up, How Do You Know might not set the world on fire, but it will warm the cockles of your heart and bring a smile to your face. Unless you are actually a machine, in which case this will just annoy you.
