Always Be My Maybe

Cute rom com about two people, Sasha and Marcus (Ali Wong and Randall Park) who knew each other in childhood and early teen years and reconnect 15 years later.

Sasha is now a celebrity chef, and Marcus is still living at home and working for his father. They aren't that excited about getting together.

There are some sweet moments in this film, but the funniest scene takes place in a restaurant with Sasha's hot date, Keanu Reeves. He is HILARIOUS. The whole restaurant set-up is a riot. Park says something like "I just ate a $640 meal and I'm starving." The movie is worth seeing just for that part.

Very pleasant.

Seriously, he's funny, unexpected, and also his usual sexy self. Movie's cute too - pretty predictable, but with enough heart and intelligence to keep it interesting.

This movie should have a higher rating than 6.8 on IMDb. It's a well-made well written funny and heartwarming movie. Keenu Reeves is a riot but not the only reason to watch this movie. The two main characters are likable and the ending of the story is very sweet. Highly recommend!

I got that it wasn't flashy, but it wasn't bad either. It had acting and comedy chops without being crass or obvious. It was solid and told a story with people of colour without resorting to making it a message-movie. Hamilton-syndrome maybe; representative without being about representation. Yes, it felt like good TV and not great movie, with its Netflix standard crispness, but it knows its audience. I very much liked this sort of effortlessly pleasing romcom with real chemistry and no pretensions.

I watched it yesterday and I would be more than glad to watch it again. The characters were so likeable, especially James Saito, who made me smile with every scene he was on. I have to admit the Keanu Reeves part took me by surprise and it was HILARIOUS. If you are a fan of romantic comedies and also have some knowledge about Keanu's previous roles in action movies, you will totally enjoy this one, I guarantee it.
