My review · Reviewed 05/31/2019

Some of the reviews on rottentomatoes.com said that this movie reminded them of When Harry Met Sally with maybe a twist or two. I can kind of see that but this movie (understandably) comes nowhere near that movie. The film floundered a bit in the middle and then picked up with the introduction of Keanu Reeves. I've disliked just about anything Keanu has been in but this particular role suited him just fine as he could do an (intentionally) awful imitation of himself that ended up being perfect for the film. The end of the film was well done (even if you could see it coming three miles away) and that raised my rating up a tick.

romcom he would like
