Love Again

I'm not a huge fan of romantic comedy movies so my standards are pretty high. I've definitely seen some really bad ones! This one was really well put together! Great acting, good writing and funny at the right times!

I adore Sam. Heughan and absolutely love him in outlander. I was worried that he wouldn't be very good in this movie so I avoided it. But after looking for anything new to watch I thought I'd give it a try. Also I think Preyanka Chopra Jones is incredible at action movies so again I just wasn't sure if this movie would work. I'm really glad I gave it a try. It's definitely one you should watch for yourself and see what you think. I don't think you will be disappointed!

If you're looking for a feel good, cheeky romance movie "Love Again" fits the bill. The romance between Mira and Rob was charming and sweet. I just wished the script had spent more time on the development of their relationship instead of so much time on the protagonist brooding over her deceased boyfriend. Priyanka Chopra and Sam Heughan portrayed their characters with sensitivity and humor. Their time together on screen just seemed rushed and did not allow much time for any depth in their relationship. That said, there were light and funny moments between them. Sam has great comedic timing, and Priyanka was very charming. Celine Dion seemed to be there more as a backdrop but had some pretty funny lines, which she delivered well. The music was classic Celine. I enjoyed the film overall and would recommend it to someone looking for a feel good, love-conquers-all romantic comedy.

This rom-com is made especially for Celine Dion fans. Why? Cause she played an integral part to its plot. Not to mention so many of her songs were used in it. As someone who enjoys Celine's songs, I also enjoy this movie. Don't be discouraged by raters who insensitively said that the main character took too much time mourning her deceased boyfriend. Those kind of people are dead on the inside, that's why they couldn't empathize with people who are grieving. They don't understand the kind of effort it takes to come out of that dark place. Anyway, for those who still can feel love, do give this movie a try. You won't regret it. Especially if you're a Celine Dion's die hard fan.

I guess this is a remake of the 2016 German film SMS für Dich and based on a few things I knew about it before watching, I didn't expect to enjoy it...but I found the film oddly charming and not being a big fan of Celine Dion, I was really surprised how much I enjoyed her contributions. I particularly liked the story of how her and Rene's romantic relationship began (I hope that is true, because it makes for a great story).

The film is about Mira Ray, a children's book illustrator who's boyfriend John is killed by a drunk driver. It's two years later and she is still struggling to get her life back or back to life. In a moment of despair she texts John's old cell phone number. The phone number has been reassigned as a work phone for a music critic named Rob Burns. He is also dealing with heartache and Mira's heartfelt words speak to him and inspire him to go to the opera Orpheus and Eurydice, where they finally meet.

This was different than the typical two sided texting with a stranger as the texting was one sided and a little more voyeuristic.

Going in I really expected to dislike the film, I was a little turned off by the trailer with real-life couple Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas on what appears to be the most awkward first date (I can only hope that in real life they have far more chemistry) and again I have never been a Celine Dion fan. I do however love Sam Heughan and as awkward as it was to see him singing Celine songs, I really enjoyed seeing him in a contemporary romantic comedy.

I think romantic comedy fans will enjoy this film, especially those who have been touched by heartache or grief. I thought the overall story was endearing and I actually really enjoyed Celine Dion's role beyond the shameless self promotion, she had more depth than I expected...and I think shared a genuine part of herself. To that, I highly recommend this film for Celine Dion fans. I think they will be over the moon.

Netflix has a fun line up of movies and series to date. So far they've kept me paying! I love both the leads in this and the supporting cast is nice too! It's about love, loss and starting over. I enjoyed it! I'd like to see Sam in a LOT more! (hubba hubba) The overall formula was a little predictable but guys... it's a ROM COM on Netflix...not The Titanic! I wanted a little more angst and drama with a twist, however, this was a pleasant experience and I believe it was absolutely worth my time tonight. It was nice seeing and hearing Celine Dion too! I've watched everything these two leads have done and it's a lovely addiction.
