Which Brings Me to You

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.

The leads met at the wedding and spent the time together talking about their past relationships.

The movie has a heart but it would have worked if they had made the story a little better. Not some of the trash that Netflix pumps regularly. But the story becomes more unbelievable as the time goes on. I can handle some improbable things but it becomes ridiculous if overdone. They spend the whole movie talking with each other. The chemistry between them is somewhat lacking. The movie rests solely on the two leads which makes the chemistry between them everything. This is good for a casual watch. But can't recommend it to anyone who is not a rom-com fanatic.

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.

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.

There's just no romance in these romance movies lately. Everything is dealing with sex almost immediately. I loved these actors in other movies and figured this would be a good movie too but it's really slow and not something you can really watch with friends. It wasn't horrible and the storyline was decent But I definitely wish there was more romance instead of 10 different sex scenes in one way or another. Think it's tiring not knowing what I can watch with a friend or watch with a family member or something without it turning into something raunchy. Do better Hollywood. This movie could have been better.
