I have never walked out of a movie before the end until today. This is the most boring movie I've ever seen. No chemistry between the only characters and all that they do is walk and talk about nothing that is at all interesting. Meg Ryan's wardrobe is just bizarre for a snowstorm weather time. She's wearing a white cotton dress with what is an ornamental sweater over it. I guess her boots were appropriate for travel to Boston. And how do neither characters know where they are stranded? And if it's a small regional airport as they say, how can they get lost ??

Dukovney has no comedic timing. Bad script, bad casting bad everything. Waste of my time and money.

The movie is mostly about two actors just talking. It doesn't have the strongest start, but it turns into a little magical gem of a film. It's not your typical cute romcom; you probably need to be more of a romance movie fan than a romcom enthusiast. It didn't make me feel too mushy inside, which is basically how I judge romance movies, but I still very much enjoyed it.

The writers were important for this. It's essentially watching two ex-married individuals, everything else very much in the background. Their interactions felt genuine, showing a sense of maturity. Wasn't loudly bitter and bickering. The airport voice added a humorous touch, slyly responding to their conversation. The Instacart line made me giggle, and the movie had many little quips like that.

The dialogue-heavy approach allows us to get to know the characters while also letting Willa and Bill catch up as they relive moments from their past, which is the plot. Some of it is painful, and some provides clarity. As the movie progresses, the chemistry between the two characters gets better, and the conversations become deeper. It even imparts some life lessons. I initially thought it might be a wannabe version of Richard Linklater's "Before" Trilogy movies or Chris Evan's "Before We Go," but it offers a sensible twist, portraying an older couple reminiscing about their younger selves. I enjoyed it, and it also reminded me of "Destination Wedding."

The writers did a pretty good job. Of course, it's not a film for everyone, as many may not want to spend over an hour watching just two people talk. The budget seems noticeably low, particularly in the outside views of the snowstorm, resembling flakes in a snow globe. But that doesn't detract from what the movie aimed to achieve.

The movie isn't entirely grounded in reality; it incorporates elements like the universe working in mysterious ways, adding a touch of magic. It brought back memories of when I got stuck at the airport in Germany, where they powered down everything at night; I didn't expect airports to do that either lol. The story has some twists and turns, but it's more about the chemistry between the two characters and their connections to other people in their lives.

I was so excited to see this movie. Meg Ryan back in a RomCom with a stellar cast mate! The beginning of the movie had animated snowflakes with that feel good sort of RomCom music.

Then it started, and that's where the feel good ended.

On our way home from the theater, we were struggling to find the words to describe adequately how awful this movie is. Awful may not even be correct... weird, bizarre, inane, incoherent. Truly one of the worst movies I've EVER seen, not just for 2023.

There was no chemistry between the characters, their backstory was incredibly convoluted, the writing was almost impossible to follow, and quite frankly it was downright boring. Neither character was sympathetic or redeeming, Meg Ryan's character was downright unlikable, there was an over abundance of unnecessary language, and a truly stupid and I guess "supernatural" interactions between the main characters and the airport voice... HUH???!!! That along with an overly long and awkward dance scene and poor directing/editing left us wanting our money back.

If you remember fondly the Meg Ryan movies of the 80's and 90's, stay in those times and memories and DON'T go see this movie. You will regret it!
