Who You Know

It was different. it was great. it was interesting. it was fun. maybe started a bit slow, but once it got going I loved it.

Found this flick after seemingly watching everything else in quarantine. Was pleasantly entertained and constantly laughing from the Sorkin 'esque dialogue throughout. Highly recommend watching, even before some of the more highly known hollywood films out there.

One of the smartest back and forth dialogue driven films I have seen in years. Witty and humorous and shot beautifully to cap it. Great acting and a crisp script. Highly recommend this unique quirky flick.

This is not a romantic comedy. It is definitely not romantic, ( the male lead looks 16) and is mismatched with a more mature woman with whom there is ZERO chemistry. Every scene together, he looks like he is in torture, and possibly on his first date. The love scenes, if you can call them that, more uncomfortable fumbling, are few and far between , and difficult to watch.

As for the comedy part of Romantic Comedy, there is NOTHING funny in this movie.

Then they throw in a gay best friend who has been lusting after the lead forever and after a night spent together, we are left to wonder if they had sex or not.

The plot is completely laid out in the movie description and that's the movie, except that the characters are thoroughly unlikeable, it's not Romantic, or a comedy, and it is poorly cast and acted. I believe the eight glowing reviews came from the families of the cast.

I'm not a huge romcom fan, but this one was unexpected (and as the metacommentary points out), it's refreshing when the characters aren't necessarily likable.

So, I did enjoy this (and, I assume like the rest of the reviewers, reviewed it today, because it was released in the middle of the night on iTunes and wasn't available before then).
