Verdict on Am I Ok?
Am I Ok? Is a romantic comedy following two friends who are going in different directions in life. One which would see them separated from their daily routine and need to face the difficult moments of life.
This is a life drama showing how difficult life can be and the friendships you make will drive you forward. It uses the importance of friendship and shows how you can have arguments. While it also explores challenges you must take alone and that could help you discover more about yourself. However, a lot of the jokes miss and certain decisions are extreme for storytelling purposes.
