Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe scene where Rosie and Alex are lying on Rosie's bed with baby Katie was not originally planned. The baby actress was asleep on the set and Lily Collins and Sam Claflin were on the bed with her, waiting while she rested. Director Christian Ditter decided to improvise and put it into the movie.
- GoofsWhen Rosie is applying to college, she applies to Boston College and yet receives an acceptance letter from Boston University, a totally different college.
- Quotes
Rosie Dunne: But if I go to Boston, mom will never speak to me again.
Dennis Dunne: Well, if you don't go, I won't. The choice is yours.
Manager: [Manager comes and reminds him that he is being late] Dennis!
Dennis Dunne: And do me a favour; come back and take that prick's job.
- Alternate versionsThere is a very heavily-edited version of the film, which is shown on some in-flight entertainment systems (e.g. Etihad). The early part of the film is cut down so much that it is not clear who is father of Katie until roughly half-way through the film, when Greg returns to find Rosie at the hotel.

Love, Rosie have the same typical flaws that many romantic drama comedies have: several unavoidable clichés and contrivances, a predictable ending. However, as in all romantic comedies, it's the whole journey that truly matters. The film takes the audience through the ups and downs of their relationships and how it affects their friendship over the years. Things didn't happen the way you expected them to be on some occasions, which is rather surprising and refreshing at the same time. The film is filled with occasionally nice witty jokes and heartwarming moments, combine with charming, likable performances from the lead characters. The two leads have great chemistry on screen and it gives the believable feeling that they've known each other for years.
There's a real genuine, non-manipulative, non-domineering relationship between the leads as we witness several loving, selfless acts on both sides when tragedy strikes one of them. However, I have to admit that there's a rather unrealistic depiction about this "friendship" - men and women can't be close friends because the sex part always gets in the way (A famous quote from another romantic comedy film, When Harry Meets Sally...). In reality, it's virtually impossible that a beautiful, attractive young lady can be close friends with a strikingly handsome man without hardly any sexual tension at all, especially when both of them are heterosexuals and they've never think of each other as siblings either.
Overall, the film succeeds in finding the heart and soul for its characters for the audience to relate with, despite its shortcomings. It's a lovely, heartfelt film that doesn't disappoint and it's well worth a watch.
