I don't know how I feel about this new "choose your own adventure" format. I will say that the romantic comedy and maybe a mystery are the two genres that might lend themselves to this format.

I watched two different endings to this romance, one where Cami ends up with perfect Paul and the other where she ends up with rocker Rex, which I don't feel is much of a spoiler since I assume there is also an ending where she ends up with the one that got away Jack. I can't say I had strong feelings about either ending or any of the characters really. Which leads me to what I think was lost in this "choose your own adventure" format...time wasn't spent developing the characters or their romance. It left everything feeling flat and cliched. Maybe the film needs to be longer in order to develop the romance and still allow you to make choices? Either way this film suffered versus benefitted, coming across as very juvenile and unfinished.

I think it was a cute film to try out this new format on, so if you just want to see how the choose your own adventure works...this is an easy no brainer way to do it, but otherwise this is not a recommendation from me.

I did like a couple of Cami's wardrobe pieces, particularly that great yellowy orange she wore.

Cami is a terrible person which leads to an unrelatable movie plot and a lackluster experience.

The basic plot of the experience is help Cami cheat on her loving and committed boyfriend for the past 3 years, which lets be real here, that's gross Netflix. Even if you pick the boyfriend centric options it still leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

The acting by the three gentlemen suitors is pretty good but they mainly coast on their good looks. Being a fan of all three actors previous works and knowing what they are capable of this what's a major disappointment.

Overall I'm choosing not to love this...

An interesting concept - having some say in the story narrative. You could rewatch the movie for an entirely different outcome.

The main character has 3 potential suitors and you can choose what to do at key moments....for example to meet with them or not. The 3 suitors seem to offer either commitment, risk, or revisiting 1st love. I imagine there is a choice to end up alone too. Sometimes the choices you make lead to unexpected outcomes, which is similar to real life I guess.

Quirky, fun concept.

One negative is that you have to be quick with your choices, otherwise it will choose for you.

This new twist on a hallmarkesque pg romcom was surprisingly engaging! Fun to watch with others and discuss the possible choices. You have a chance to go back and redo the last selection and see what happens if you take the plot in a different direction. Yes, all the choices end up in some version of a happily ever after but is that so bad? The heroine is charming and sweet without being too saccharine and there's enough tongue-in-cheek humor to elevate the experience beyond bland fluff. It doesn't take itself too seriously as a film which allows the viewer to just grab the popcorn, sit back with your controller in hand and enjoy!

I understand the main logic behind the plot. All are very cliche and common personalities we all have around us. But the missing thing is the emotions which is mainly the only reason behind the types of decisions given in the movie. There has to be a more story behind every character and their relationship so it feels more realistic. But it's an interactive movie /game afterall, shouldn't be taken too seriously. I feel kind of glad that these type of common uncertainties before marriage/ during relationships are out in the open now. Many may find themselves in the show and it may provide them a new way of thinking.
