Something I didn’t know going in was that “Compartment No. 6” is based on Rosa Liksom’s 2011 novel. The film has the same name as the book, though it was initially titled “Hytti nro 6.” ​

In time for Valentine’s Day, I advise you to say “Yes” to “Marry Me.” Sadly, I’m more referring to the song performed by Lopez and Latin music star Maluma rather than the movie. No. The movie isn’t that bad for your typical rom com it’s just what it is… your typical rom com. With that said, for a film of this ilk, the songs were quite good all around. ​

This movie is a lot of fun but to maximize your pleasure of watching it, I have to suggest you do that in the comfort of your own home. I say this because as I sat viewing the film at the theater, I found myself, more than once, mind you, wishing I had a remote control in my hand so I could rewind and or pause.
