Com Quem Será?

I laughed almost from start to finish. Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are adorable together as two ridiculous people in a ridiculous situation. Anyone who likes dry humor and flawed, broken characters will love this movie.

This movie is painful on purpose. When you realise who and what you are dealing with, it's fun. A movie that wasn't given much chance to succeed in the theater...Keanu and Wynona are great together.

John Wick as a grumpy, petty, cheap, middle aged man that really needs to visit an ENT specialist

Winona Ryder has been single for so long she forgot how to talk to people.

Both smartasses are cynical type that mumble sarcastic comments about everyone else in the room from the corner without noticing how bitter and envious they sound.

The pacing is slow and awkward at times making it seem less like a movie and more realistic, like they were real people or something.

It's awkward, witty, funny, smart and a special kind of sweet. The most realistic rom-com I've seen in ages and a definite must see. I don't get the negative reviews, the one flaw I see is that the leads are too sexy for the "that one loser that came to the wedding without a date" role they were playing but hey I they're good so what!

I managed to see this on Amazon streaming. As it began I wasn't sure if I actually wanted to finish it, and at the 7 minute mark both characters seemed so dysfunctional that I considered abandoning it, but I didn't.

While there are several characters listed, only two of them speak, all the others might as well be background extras. It is a unique approach but it works pretty well.

Keanu Reeves is Frank and Winona Ryder is Lindsay. They meet, sort of, while waiting to board a plane, but it is all friction. Then they end up on an 8-passenger plane to San Luis Obispo, and they are seated next to each other. As they compare notes it turns out they are both headed to the same destination wedding in a Paso Robles vineyard. In fact she is the groom's old girlfriend and he is the groom's brother.

All this makes for a number of funny situations, the enjoyment of the viewing depends on how well one likes the two actors. He is jaded, doesn't believe relationships can ever work out beyond quick encounters. She is the romantic, she believes everyone has a special person somewhere in the world.

The funniest scene is when they encounter a mountain lion as they take a walk after the wedding. Then out of character get amourous with each other.

I suspect many viewers will really hate this experimental movie but I enjoyed it as something quite different.

Watching unpleasant characters onscreen isn't always a fun thing to do, so casting Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder is very smart. They're both charismatic. In their fourth film together, are clearly having a great chemistry, and they won me over. Ryder is a gifted actress, and Reeves, manages to turn his signature woodenness into comedy. And together? It's a powerful force. This story about two narcissistic, cynical characters could quickly have become irritating, but writer-director Victor Levin takes an interesting approach to nearly every scene and his dialogue is relentless. This film isn't the romantic comedy that audiences are hoping for but it's very entertaining and is a must movie theater destination. nikisreviews.gr
