The Clapper is a cliched romantic comedy. That's its worst fault. What it does which the vast majority of romcoms avoid is paint the details of people on the edge. His flat is modest, the decor is seventies, the floor is tiled black and white, he puts 5 dollars in the pay-as-you-go internet service, he has to get on the bus with a jerry can to go to the petrol station. Things that people on the margins do to scrabble about to make some sort of living.
