This is an adorable and funny little rom-com with all the cheesy rom-com tropes, and I didn’t mind them at all because Jenny Slate is such a gem—plus the film deals with adulthood and aging and the feelings of not having done enough in life, which is the perfect kind of existential dread to pair with the film’s super desperate version of unrequited love. ⏰⏰⏰
Josh:
This was a 2-star movie all through the predictable breakups and the meet-cute and the deranged and vile plan our 2 heroes put into motion, briefly became 3 stars during Emma’s attempted seduction of Logan, which somehow involves a middle school production of Little Shop of Horrors (that section leans fully into the absurdity of the premise, and is greatly enhanced by the awkward charm of Slate, Rodriguez, and Jacinto) but then slowly scrapes that star away during the seemingly endless, mostly charmless third act, which hinges on whether or not Peter and Emma can figure their shit out, but by that point, I could hardly be expected to care, much less root for them. ⏰⏰
