This romantic comedy set in Winnipeg portrays a developing relationship between a young Filipino woman and a young Mennonite blue-collar worker who grew up in Morden, Manitoba before moving to Winnipeg. Iris DelaCruz and Simon Friesen meet when they both help push a car out of a snowbank. Iris thinks he's someone else initially, so there's an awkward sorting out before she suggests they go for a drink together. Iris is the emotive, out-there personality, and she suggests they agree to tell secrets to each other because they don't know each other's last name, and they'll "never see each other again after tonight." So they do some fairly deep sharing--she's only slept with one, he's afraid of horses, etc. Simon works with Gord as a painter, and Gord wants Simon to work in a porno film with him. Simon refuses, but in later interactions, we learn that Gord is sexually attracted to Simon. We learn that Simon and Iris have been thinking about each other when they accidentally meet in a deli, exchange phone numbers, and start texting. They're soon in a full-blown romance that Iris's family has serious questions about. Just before Iris and Simon first have sex, she tells him that she was married once but that it only lasted nine months. He confesses he's had sex with about 30 women. They muse on this but then proceed. Simon realizes he's fallen in love with Iris and wants to sort his feelings out by taking a two-week trip by himself. He only tells Iris this at the airport, and she fears the worst--that he won't come back. He uses the phrase "sowing his wild oats," which she interprets as one might expect. At her sister's strong encouragement, she has a one-night stand but regrets it. When Simon returns, he says he loves her and asks her to move in with him, which she agrees to do. Her family, who has not met Simon, is concerned. A major crisis emerges when she confesses to Simon about her one-night stand, and he reacts by walking out of the house in his stocking feet and disappearing. Iris is panicked by his disappearance and ends up going to Morden to look for him. While there, she learns he comes from a very challenging background. They go through another emotional crisis, and the movie finishes with a hokey (in my mind) ending. I actually found this to be a very moving film. Now I am a sucker for romance movies, but I thought this was an interesting cross-cultural movie. Simon's "Mennoniteness" is thin, as there was nothing discernably Mennonite about him ethnically except for his name, and he certainly wasn't a practicing Mennonite. Iris's family spoke a lot of Tagalog, but Simon muttered nothing akin to Low German.

I hate it when people rate a low budget indie movie with the same criteria they use for a big budget Hollywood movie. This was a solid movie that told a simple story and it made me laugh and smile. Which was all it needed to do on a Sunday afternoon. I appreciate local Canadian actors getting an opportunity be in a movie and gain experience. I had to look up what a social was; I thought it might be a Filipino thing, turns out it's a Manitoba thing.

Introduced by a lovely premise - a lone, solitary, never to be revisited date where secrets are bared - this low key romcom in wintery Winnipeg is an odd long shot for movie stardom, but twinkles it does. An odd couple meet over pushing a stranger's car out of a snow bank. How Canadian! As they meander away from their good deed, Iris asks Simon out for a drink on the premise, well, the title. A wonderful exchange follows where guards are down and frank confessions flow, a rarity in most relationships, let alone a first meeting. What happens next may be easy to Sherlock, but that doesn't take away from the fun. The partner dance at the kindling of romance never gets old, and there's plenty of dramedy to fill the plot pot. A proper balance of giddiness, apprehension and fear, is struck by the leads, as they slowly reveal their real selves after such an auspicious beginning. Good chemistry too. Hera Nalam as the spunky yet suffering daughter in a traditional Filipino family is quite excellent. Perhaps too authentic to succeed outside of Canuck film nerd circles, "I Propose We Never See Each Other Again" strikes enough minor chords to warm your cold cold heart. hipCRANK

Not sure where the negative reviewers of this film are even coming from. Maybe they don't like RomComs. I confess I'm not a big fan either but we saw a little tidbit and decided to take in the film. And it's Canadian too. Nothing like freezing Winnipeg in the middle of winter. No we are not from Winnipeg. But I grew up in Ottawa and it used to anyway have some doozy of winters. What did we love about this film? Well the mostly first time actors did a great job. Was some of it improvised? It was also so relatable. Gee my second wife and I met. Then parted leaving at least one of us upset. Got back together but slowly. Parted again figuring this was not going to work. Then back again. Family (hers) upset over their daughters choice. I was still technically married at the time and she was considerably younger. So while circumstances were different yes it all eventually worked out in the end. We've now been married for 34 years plus another two living together much to the chagrin of her parents. And we're still in love despite many years of ups and downs. The film and the actors seemed so natural. I completely understood the family thing for Iris. You marry her and her family as well. The two had lovely chemistry and the rest of the supporting cast was good. Sure the film has it flaws but one can overlook them. No this is just a lovely story played out against the backdrop of Winnipeg in winter and you knew that somehow it would all end well. Ok isn't that how RomComs are supposed to end. But its the journey to get there that is the delight. And this was a lovely journey. Move over Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. Hera Nalam and Kristian Jordan are challenging. Brought a tear to my eye.

Okay I might be biased because I'm from Winnipeg and I'm Filipino so this was totally relatable to me. I loved Hera's acting, and her sister. They were so good and so natural. And it's good to see my city in a movie.

Everything was going great until they decided to introduce the most stupid misunderstanding possible and I'm actually amazed people thought it was a good idea. So he decided to take a vacation, ok. He used the wrong expression to describe his intentions, ok. But in what world, do you send 100 messages without noticing they weren't actually sent. In what world do you still find places without wifi in 2020. And in what world, a girl who only had 1 partner prior couldn't hold herself for 1 week and would suddenly decide to go and sleep with a random dude. All those elements were anything but realistic and ruined the great intro ,too bad.

Romantic and starts up pretty well until the the sticky parts of love come through, with stupid descision making that brings ahead the worst in a relationship, and jealousy and less thought through acts brings this romance back to the icecold concrete floor, and its a cold winnipeg for sure. but will they live happily forever after, search me, do ask the mirror, its a movie with far to ultra-hd filmography,far to much light in the settings, even in a dimmed down lighted restaurant, like a flashligt mounted in the table. but the female actors are uncut gems, so if you like small filipino women, have a go. i will not fall back to this one so just a tini tiny timtimtim of a recommend from the grumpy old man

We really enjoyed the movie and there is a lot of truth in the dynamics of the relationship and her family. Not sure why anybody would think the girl is Vietnamese when she and her family all speak the native language of the Philippines and clearly do not look Vietnamese.

Asian culture making love not romance, marriage is meant to be for the tradition and not couple decision. This story express this again. The end.
