Which Brings Me to You

I kept reading how this was a romcom, but it's definitely missing the comedy part.

Lucy Hale is great, Nat Wolff was ok, the soundtrack was horrible. I think the movie would have so much more potential but the soundtrack was one of the things that kind of killed it and made it quite boring.

It's always this mellow music with no exciting parts.

In my opinion the movie consisted of way too many slow scenes and too little funny scenes to lift the mood. I also don't get how they cast all these beautiful women as his ex-partners and these, well, not as attractive men for her. She had zero chemistry with any of them.

The chemistry between the main characters was also not the greatest. I was so looking forward to this movie but am pretty disappointed.

Jane (Lucy Hale) and Will (Nat Wolff) are strangers and guests at a wedding. She almost has drunken sex with him before he stops her. They start to talk about their past relationships.

My initial superficial take is that Will needs to be hunkier. It would help especially since his character pulls so many beautiful women. After that initial thought, my next hot take is that this is trying to be Before Sunrise. Again, this would benefit from an Ethan Hawke like actor. The main difference is the many flashbacks. I both like them and have issues with them. I would like Will to have fewer women and concentrate on setting up the final reveal. Juliet should be his first 'girlfriend' story and then the last flashback should be a repeat of the same story with the truth revealed. At the end of the day, I really like the attempt even if it's not completely successful.

In director Peter Hutchings' pretentious romance flick "Which Brings Me To You" Nat Wolff (terrific actor - wasted here) & Lucy Hale (meh) meet at a wedding where he defers having sex til after they've shared long, competitive accounts of their love-lives (only Keith Bunin knows why (or Steve Almond & Julianna Baggott on whose novel he based this screenplay on)). It gets tedious fast, and ends up dragging excrutiatingly - mainly due to the dislikeableness of the characters, particularly Hale's. Any appeal it could have would rely on maintaining interest in the two leads... who except to themselves (and apparently each other) are not interesting at all. A turd. Flush it away.

So this is a movie about a couple of walking red flags doing a whole bunch of red flagging and eventually winning a happy ending.

I hate it.

The supermarket musical score is as terrible as it is entirely fitting.

It wants to be a movie about redemption and learning from mistakes with a heartwarming there's-someone-for-everyone outcome but it isn't. What it is instead is an exercise in excusing terrible behaviour, a commitment deficit, emotional gaslighting and a complete lack of personal accountability.

None of the characters are likeable and are portrayed with a by-the-numbers cast. Overall I just hated that these people got a chance of happiness after being such terrible people for all of their adult lives.

Romantic melodrama '' which brings me to you '' is a movie based on a book by the same title and it tells the story of two people who meet at a wedding and share their romantic experiences so far.

And even though the concept is interesting, the movie doesn't deliver. Sure, it is a nice story to read, but not to watch, as the past stories ended up being more interesting than the main one. Especially since the main couple didn't have any chemistry or any moments to support their big and instant connection that lead them to a romance of a day.

The performances, on the other hand, were decent enough.
