Ranking April 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

Box Office: Budgetary data isn't yet available, but Mike Newell's historical drama has already cracked $6.8 million worldwide with most of its global streaming rights already being sold to Netflix, so it'll be just fine.

Verdict: If you can get over the toe-curlingly bad title, this is a familiar yet relatively well-crafted romance, boosted by sharp cinematography and a cracking ensemble cast led by the charming Lily James.

It's perhaps a little too sentimental, doesn't offer up many surprises and isn't something you positively need to experience on the big-screen, but it's solid cinematic comfort food if you're craving an easy, undemanding sit.

If you saved it for a home viewing, nobody would blame you.
