I didn't read the synopsis prior to watching this movie (or maybe I had read it at some point, but I don't remember it, so...), so I had no idea what's coming and wow. This movie definitely started off strong. It was fresh, fun and maybe a bit crazy (but in a good way) and I actually caught myself laughing out loud every few minutes. And the characters were adults, so there was the potential to be a bit more daring with the humour and I'm glad the writers made use of it, even tho it felt a bit embarassing at times. Bonus point for a likeable female character!

I can't compare this movie with the show (did I miss something not watching it?), but sadly I feel like Oh! My Assistant slowly started losing it spark as the movie progressed. Because somewhere along the way (thankfully it was towards the end) all the things I loved and named in the first paragraph were pushed aside just to be unceremoniously replaced with the most repeated and boring cliches known to the mankind. Misunderstandings, pretending and the last nail in the coffin, the "their best friend of years is actually in love with them". While the first two were funny maybe the first few times, repeating it over and over again without any talking (I mean, they talked, but kinda ignored it afterwards) was just frustrating. It's old, overused, and most importantly - it's not something that should be prioritized over the elements that were actually interesting and mainly - over the characters themselves. Because yes, it made the characters develop, but in a negative way. I mean slightly creepy second lead? Come on! You can do better. Another point - I don't know if the chemistry between the two main leads was getting worse with time or if it was almost nonexistent from the get go, but I feel that sometimes it would just be better to not make the main characters kiss and this is one of the cases.

The last thing I found kind off off-putting was the voiceover/characters saying out loud what they think or feel that happened every so often. It felt a little bit out of place - I don't know if those were remnants of the comic, lazy writing or just director's vision, but they became too noticable and honestly I don't understand their purpose. Wasn't there a less disruptive way to make the viewers understand?

But all in all, even though I named many things I didn't like, I still quite enjoyed watching this movie. As I mentioned before, it started off really strong, the actors were quite likeable and even though its potential wasn't used as much as it should be, maybe because the movie was rather short, it didn't get that MUCH worse, it was still fun and after it ended, I didn't feel like I wasted two hours of my time and was actually quite happy with it. But I would be much happier, if it just stayed light and fun without all the unnecessary drama.
