Everyone has kept something from their past relationships.
Review
The other day, I saw someone talking about this movie I had never heard of it, but it sounded really good. And I was right, it was cute. This movie was an example of why I love the Friends to Lovers trope. Because it is really cute when two people meet, start spending time together as friends and slowly fall in love. I loved how they met too. Lucy was supposed to get a ride from Lyft, but she was a little drunk and got in a stranger’s car. She did not let him speak, so he had no chance to tell her he wasn’t her Lyft driver.
I love to watch romance movies because it makes me hopeful. Some people might say that it is not realistic, but seriously we all deserve movie-worth relationships. To be honest, the guy was cute, but not my type. But when he behaves like a gentleman and does certain romantic things, he becomes a thousand times more attractive.
This was funnily enough the happiest movie about break-ups, now I think about it. Normally, I can cry about two people breaking up in movies, but this time I was feeling a lot better when she and Max broke up. It was not just about break-ups either, it was also about losing a person you love because they died. Pretty sad, but still very beautiful. I realized that I never kept any guy’s stuff. I get why people keep them now because one thing can mean a lot.
I think when it comes to romantic movies, the most important thing is the chemistry and I definitely saw the chemistry. The story is very uplifting and cute. It takes place in New York and maybe that does not mean anything to anyone else, but I still want to go to New York one day. One day a few years ago I bought this New York poster from Ikea and since that moment I fell in love with new york. Which still sounds a little bit silly, because like I said I’ve never been to New York before.
The acting was pretty solid, the story cute, and the music choice was also great. I still don’t get the point of this Jeff guy. He was very strange and while he was there all the time, he just have one line or something. I think it was better to leave him out of the cast. Without him, the movie would have been the same. But the actors were good, although if Lucy was a real person I would have told her to shut up every once in a while. There were a few times Nick wanted to explain something and she did not stop talking.
