Alex Cann's Weekly Blog from Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025

I remember my first date with Sofia very well. It was back in the mists of time (well, January 2010!), and although the chain restaurant I chose turned out to be pretty underwhelming, as did the film (Did You Hear About The Morgans, 12% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes), the date went pretty well! Reviews of my movie choice point out the lack of chemistry between its leading stars, and one critic sums it up perfectly as "a meandering and thoroughly conventional rom com". We've been married now for over 13 years, so thankfully my choices didn't scupper things.
