Before we go has some moments that are genuinely relatable to anyone who's ever loved deeply, and lost the intimate connection before they were ready. Relationships are messy, they force us to grow up, to give of ourselves and to share our soul with someone who we hope we can trust. When those same feelings are expressed in return then we are able to be vulnerable.
There is a lot to like in Before We Go: Alice Eve is absolutely lovely and her portrayal is delightfully aloof, slightly insecure but also willingly open to the possibility of new things. Unfortunately, Chris Evans doesn't have the same on screen magic and tenderness that Alice has and it makes for an uneven chemistry between them.
The greatest Romantic Comedies are the ones whose characters/actors are uniquely and undeniably united by the significance of the small things. They teach us that love is a daily choice and that "no relationship is perfect. It's a struggle. You just need to choose who you want to struggle with." Before We Go is worth the watch but the lack of meaningful moments and magical chemistry keeps this film grounded... stuck on the runway. 63/100
Check out the movie "Once" if you're looking for something special.
