I have been reading all the comments before actually deciding to write one. It seems this movie has either very bad or very good critique. To be honest, when it started I thought I will be bored to death by slow pace, pastel colors and TV-show actors trying to act more deep than usual. Somehow that didn't happen and I actually started thinking and feeling some of the emotions they are projecting. In my opinion what Romantics lack of is movie drama! It has the life one in it and people sometime forget what happens in real life can be more powerful than some invented soap opera with a happy/sad ending. I would like to read the book now, see how different it is from the movie and maybe go deeper into characters, because movie only scratched the surface. But anyhow, try, see if you can connect to it somehow and if you don't by the 20th minute or so - just leave it. Otherwise it will be a pain and you will end up wanting your hour and a half back.
