A Missed Connection

Well, while I had indeed never heard about this 2024 romantic comedy titled "A Missed Connection", I have to admit that I harbored very little expectations to the movie as I sat down to watch it. Yeah, it just oozed of being a very generic romantic comedy. But still, since I hadn't already seen the movie, of course I opted to give it a fair chance.

And true enough, as expected, writer Emily Duncan delivered a very generic and stereotypical romantic comedy. Yup, it is a sappy type of romantic comedy. But don't get me wrong here, because it actually proved entertaining enough, despite it being a script and storyline written step by step from the how-to-write-a-romantic-comedy-script blueprint. So, while writer Emily Duncan definitely didn't reinvent the wheel here, it was still an okay enough watchable movie.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but leading actress Meggan Kaiser and leading actor Alex Trumble, playing Victoria and Max respectively, definitely carried the movie well. They had good on-screen chemistry and they performed well on the screen. Actually, I will say that the entire cast ensemble acted quite well throughout the course of the movie.

Now, if you enjoy sugar-coated and sappy formulaic romantic comedies, then you definitely will also enjoy this 2024 movie.

My rating of director Damián Romay's 2024 movie "A Missed Connection" lands on a five out of ten stars.
