Plus One

I kinda loved it! Sometimes you just want to watch a rom-com and this one hit it for me.

One of the best of the genre. It's as simple as that. Two great leads who have chemistry and a story that isn't necessarily groundbreaking but does at least tread new ground. [spoiler]And the gay couple almost steal the film. They're perfectly cast/acted.[/spoiler]

I had been putting off watching this film for a few weeks now. The "platonic friends navigate the wedding season" genre has been beaten to death in so many mediocre rom coms. I decided to give it a chance based on some of the reviews - this was a good decision.

The film was in fact very different from so many others. I won't go too far into the details as it might give some of it away (is that possible?). I recently watched and enjoyed Always Be My Maybe - I dare say that this was better. The two leads were excellent and perfectly cast the film seemed to find out a unique niche in the genre. I was invested from beginning to end and it is definitely one of the better films that I've seen this year.

This was way better than I expected. Both leads did a great job and were believable.

There were fun and sad parts and the normal ups and downs of a relationship that are heightened for your viewing pleasure and emotional satisfaction.

Occasionally funny, but its Erskine who gives the score the plus one here as it would be a little dull without her.

The story is not that good and the love chemistry of the two protagonists is non-existent.

I love Jack Quaid, and Maya Erskine seems like a good actor, too, but this movie wasn't all that for me.
I thought Alice's character was unlikeable. She basically put all the blame on Ben, while IMO, she also could have handled things better.

I don't know, it was a bit too cliché for my taste. I know that is to be expected by this genre and the plot line, but after all the hype surrounding it, I guess I was expecting a bit more out of it.

Edit: I think it's also that her character was very much the Awkwafina type of character that I've gotten kind of sick and tired of.

Unoriginal story but **Erskine hive rise**

Predictable , some funny parts,Jack Quaid is good but Maya sucks you just can't like her.No chemistry, Not worth watching
