When I started watching the movie, I thought it was going to be a solid 7 stars. The characters were cute. Acting was good. Their chemistry was great and I do love the friends to lovers trope. I liked how they talked about not giving up on your dreams when life throws you curveballs and not feeling like your life is over because you had to pause to raise a child.
But the longer the movie went on the lower my rating started getting. The plot was getting repetitive and cliched. They kept going round in circles.
Also I absolutely hate it when in romances they do this thing where everyone else the leads date except for the other lead has to be bad. Like a liar or a cheater or a narcissist you name it, just so you can root for the leads to get together instead. You shouldn't have to do that, you should be able to give us a reason to root for the leads that isn't 'everyone else bad'. Imagine how much more interesting it would have been if the other people they married were actually great people. Who do they pick now?
And i stopped believing in their chemistry when we would jump over years of time where they didn't speak to each other. It wasn't the worst movie I've ever watched, I did watch all of it. I'm just disappointed in it because I was expecting more.
