Whenever the director of a romcom doesn't have enough confidence in the romance itself, he banks on comedy and beautiful locales to make up for the weak romance. This is exactly what director Kumaravelan does in Yuvan Yuvathi, giving Santhanam as much screen time as the hero and setting half of the movie in gorgeous Seychelles. Unfortunately, those are still not enough to overcome the listless romance.

Kathir(Bharath) and Nisha(Rima Kallingal) first meet while standing in line at the US Consulate to get their visas. Its not a good start as they quarrel and to make matters worse, both their visas get rejected - his because his father's name is misspelled and hers because her passport is missing. A few unplanned encounters later, Kathir realizes he has fallen for Nisha and even helps her recover her passport. But just when he is ready to reveal his feelings, he is shocked to hear Nisha's reason for going to the US.

As someone who wants to cut off his ties to his village and experience freedom from his dad's control, Bharath's character feels well-formed. But the same is not true of Rima. With no information about her family, background or source of income, she is defined only by her wish to go to the US and so seems incomplete.

After the cliched events as Bharath falls for Rima, the twist comes as welcome relief even if it is completely predictable and has been seen before in many popular movies. But what follows the twist ends up being more disappointing. The route the story traverses eliminates quickly the more interesting complications that could arise from the twist. So what follows is a repeat of what happened before the twist as Bharath woos Rima. Its just that the location is different now as they are both in beautiful Seychelles.

As in other similarly weak romances, the director banks on the comedian to keep the movie afloat. Santhanam doesn't help much in the initial portions as he appears in the stereotyped role of the hero's friend and his comments are familiar also. But he is later brought back into the proceedings as a newly-married man whose wife has been kidnapped and makes up for his earlier weak show. His anguish over not being with his wife and his attempts to talk to her are both quite funny and definitely more entertaining than Bharath's attempts to change Rima's mind.

Its nice that opening scene actually plays a part in the climax rather that being just a cliched way to show us Sampath's character. But apart from that small surprise, the climax proceeds along with expected lines.

Bharath starts off hamming it up a bit as he overdoes the bit about being cool. But he settles down as he turns into a lover boy and pursues Rima. Rima, a Malayalam import, suffers from a poorly-etched role and doesn't make much of an impression. Sampath does what he can with the cliched role of a dad who loves his son but is against love. Oh My Angel... is the winner in Vijay Antony's youthful soundtrack.
