My Fault: London | Movie Review
i’ll start this review with a little story on how i caved in and watched this version. so, like most people i watched the spanish og version, and while it wasn’t good by any measure, it was entertaining. but, then again, i watched “culpa mia” around the same time as “the tearsmith” cuz of tiktok recommendations and “the tearsmith” was so god awful that i might have an eschewed opinion on “culpa mia” being entertaining! 😬 anyways, a month or so ago, i watched the sequel “culpa tuya” and i was pretty disappointed with how disjointed and non-cohesive the plot line was! hence, when i saw the trailer for a london version i thought “meh, i ain’t watching!” anyways, yesterday, while on tiktok, i come to find out that the actor who plays nick in the london version is matt broome from “the buccaneers” *aaahhh! my racing heart beat still* and so i decided to check out this version to see him and i was NOT disappointed!!
after watching the movie, i immediately hurried back to tiktok to bask in the edits and gush with the girlies over how perfect matt broome and asha banks were for these roles. that’s when i was hit by the “haters brigade” ie; defenders of the og version. they kept whining in the comments about “culpa mia” being a better adaptation cuz it adhered to the books and yada yada. babes, the books are wattpad fics (not even AO3), they are shite paraliterature for us girlies to brainrot over, that’s it. the og script writers should’ve changed stuff here and there in “culpa mia” to make a good adaptation but they didn’t. well, the “my fault london” script writers learned from that mistake and changed loads and gave the audience an entertaining movie and a decent guy/relationship to lust after/root for!!
as i said “my fault london” is so much better than “culpa mia” cuz of those script changes. the plotline in this version feels like a cohesive story instead of just bad boy clichés and spicy scenes strung up together. the events flowed seamlessly one after the other, and the relationships’ bonds between the characters felt deep and better established. additionally, the acting was just better! the chemistry between the leads was off the charts even though they had fewer spicy scenes. the “london nick and noah” talked more and connected better and so when they took that step over the redline it felt proper scandalous. it literally, had me blushing, kicking my feet, looking at my walls with how hot those scenes felt!
so yeah, i quite enjoyed this version and i’m excited to see how they will subvert the storyline if they get the green-light to make a sequel. i’m also beyond happy that cuz of the leads’ good acting, more people will finally be tuning into “the buccaneers” and “a good girl’s guide to murder” our little british shows that deserve more love.
