Which Brings Me to You

Lucy Hale, who I discovered in "The Hating Game", is absolutely lovely...but plays the hot mess Jane in this film. Together with Nat Wolff, who plays Will, they make up the romantic duo which starts as a simple wedding guest hook-up...but quickly and somewhat awkwardly morphs into the potential for more.

These two are well suited for one another, Hale and Wolff, with excellent chemistry. The story is unusual for a romantic comedy, in fact it tells itself rather inside out. We learn about all of their past failed relationships...the why you wouldn't want to be in a relationship with either one, but at some point you start pulling for these two.

I am not going to say this is the most romantic film, but I think young people today might identify with their plight. While not on my recommendation list, I didn't hate it. I enjoy some of the dialogue and the idea of being brutally honest from the start.

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.

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.

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.

The bones are there, ready to be reaped of a ghost, yet the spectre is hazy.

I liked the plot. The chemistry was a little lacking, though the more poignant moments showed an abundance-so much so that I suspect some of the writing played a significant role in dampening the spark between the characters.

The characters as individuals and the way they related to each others shortcomings highlighted the best part of the movie. We all suffer the fear of rejection, of being unable and afraid of sharing our most horrendous selves, but the way they connected and sympathised inspires hope.

Ultimately, as a movie, a form of entertainment, it was, unfortunately, subpar. Still, I think it worth viewing.
