I watched this movie twice. Why?
The first time it was in English. I'm guessing my Netflix was set to automatically dub in English. The dubbing was actually pretty good because I forgot about it through most of the movie.
I had no idea what the storyline was so I had a super creepy feeling about a couple adopting two teenagers. I kept waiting for some abuse from them to happen.
When it was over I was left a bit confused. I enjoyed the mood of the movie, the music, and I was relieved to see it was a love story. But something was missing.
The next day I watched it again but in Italian with English subtitles. Soooo much better. To me the dubbing removed the emotion of the movie. It also dumbed down the dialogue.

I hated the ending. I loathed the mother the entire 7 episodes. She was made out to be a woman who sacrificed everything for her family but yet I only saw selfish behavior. It was about the time of the cake scene I decided she was a very stupid woman and a bad mom.
My superficial complaint is the casting of the 4 siblings. There was zero resemblance with any of them. Not even a little bit. It was distracting. I kept expecting to find out one of them was the result of an affair.
The worst character was Brooke. She wore a very unflattering ponytail the entire series. I did not care for the female Jimmy Fallon that played her fiancé. But yet the character was treated as "perfect" and loved by everyone.
