I’m a big fan of Kaley Cuoco (THE BIG BANG THEORY, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT) and, to my surprise, have been impressed with Pete Davidson (THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND, BODIES BODIES BODIES) far more than I had ever thought. So when I saw they would be in a romantic comedy, I jumped on the opportunity to screen it.

To my surprise, this was nothing like what I was expecting! It started pretty straightforward but quickly took an interesting twist that I wasn’t expecting! This is thanks partly to not reading anything about the film ahead of time and just going in based on the cast. I suggest not reading anything about the movie if you plan to watch it. Without giving anything away, this is the second film I’ve seen this year that uses the same unconventional device to set up the entire plot. Although it isn’t unheard of, there was a film (and even a sequel almost a decade ago that used something in a similar style.) Yes, I’m being vague intentionally to let you enjoy the surprise!

Cuoco gave a fantastic performance here that was in stark contrast to her BIG BANG THEORY character. I haven’t seen her in much outside of that, so this was a fun watch, just in part because of that. I do have to mention that the movie deals with some heavier topics than I had initially assumed. That adds a lot of depth to it, but there could be a minor trigger warning for some. My only real knock on the film was how things were wrapped up in the end; I was hoping for a more significant twist; instead, it was pretty straightforward.

I honestly would’ve liked to have seen a little more of a deep dive into the film; with an hour and a half runtime, they glossed over the same aspect repeatedly; I think there was a lot of potential left on the table. However, it was still an interesting, unique, and enjoyable film.
