Love Again

I missed old school romantic movies who doesnt need to become vulgar or make its protagonist humiliated through the whole movie.

Love again is so sweet of a film.

The two leading actors are loveable with good chemistry. The rhythm of the film is great. It goes by the book but who cares? There's magic that will make you feel warm and cozy. Oh, and the music from Dion is pretty cool too.

Watch it alone, with your partner or with your date and you'll definitely have a great time. Cinema needs more movies like this one. It doesnt have to get too complicated. Just deliver a simple and beautiful story with likeable characters.

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.

Well, it wasn't as awful as I had imagined it would be. Foremost, poor Sam Heughan just can't catch a a good script, a good opportunity...a good director? I dunno. Maybe this Scottish hunk will always be Jamie from Outlander. He's very good in outlander, strong and confident in his performances, but in other works he continually fails to engage the role. Or maybe he's just not enough box office material to get offered an opportunity to show his acting chops beyond the kilted hero. He's not connecting on screen, despite his chiseled good looks. It's a disappointment for one who's watched his career over the years.

The film? Oh, let's not get all worked up that's it not the greatest rom-com of all times. It's formulaic, banal and poorly written and we all know it was a platform for Celine. But there were a few moments of great delivery by all involved - a few laughs. The film isn't awful. Good enough for 5, maybe 6 stars. I'll give it 6 because of Heughan. One of these days, Sam, you'll get to sink your teeth into a role - and then we'll know if you're the It Guy. You're so freaking likable, I'll continue to place my bets on you.

When I saw the trailer for this film, I knew I had to see it - especially if it meant a shirtless Sam Heughan on the big screen. Now, it's worth mentioning that while rom-coms are my favourite film genre, that also means I am hyper critical of them. Love Again contains some beautiful romantic tropes, complete with the cameo and music of Celine Dion who you might call the queen of love songs. However, i'm not entirely convinced the casting was on point with our leading couple. The writers spent a lot of time on Mira's past relationship, which made you lose focus on Rob, and therefore the chemistry felt lacklustre between them. Normally I'd be frothing for the first kiss, but it came and went without much excitement. The subsequent casting was fine, Celine was a little random but a fun addition to the film - as was Nick Jonas. The soundtrack must have worked because I played it on the way home from the cinema. In summary, a cute story to watch, whether in cinema or at home in your PJ's, but I don't think I'd watch it again.

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.
