Follow a monkey to find your true love. I loved the sequence where they stand panting facing each other in the rain. <3Being taken under a waterfall and kissed *girly sigh.*Crashing through the window and landing in the pool was so dramatic, but I especially liked the part when they were lying next to the pool. Beautiful.I really wanted the prostitute to change her ways. Hey, two happy romances
