Love Again

I guess this is a remake of the 2016 German film SMS für Dich and based on a few things I knew about it before watching, I didn't expect to enjoy it...but I found the film oddly charming and not being a big fan of Celine Dion, I was really surprised how much I enjoyed her contributions. I particularly liked the story of how her and Rene's romantic relationship began (I hope that is true, because it makes for a great story).

The film is about Mira Ray, a children's book illustrator who's boyfriend John is killed by a drunk driver. It's two years later and she is still struggling to get her life back or back to life. In a moment of despair she texts John's old cell phone number. The phone number has been reassigned as a work phone for a music critic named Rob Burns. He is also dealing with heartache and Mira's heartfelt words speak to him and inspire him to go to the opera Orpheus and Eurydice, where they finally meet.

This was different than the typical two sided texting with a stranger as the texting was one sided and a little more voyeuristic.

Going in I really expected to dislike the film, I was a little turned off by the trailer with real-life couple Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas on what appears to be the most awkward first date (I can only hope that in real life they have far more chemistry) and again I have never been a Celine Dion fan. I do however love Sam Heughan and as awkward as it was to see him singing Celine songs, I really enjoyed seeing him in a contemporary romantic comedy.

I think romantic comedy fans will enjoy this film, especially those who have been touched by heartache or grief. I thought the overall story was endearing and I actually really enjoyed Celine Dion's role beyond the shameless self promotion, she had more depth than I expected...and I think shared a genuine part of herself. To that, I highly recommend this film for Celine Dion fans. I think they will be over the moon.

It is a typical rom-com. A man and a woman meet, take time to open themselves to 100%, get together. It is a good movie, not and Oscar´s movie. But that is so with rom-com. I would sayt that I would like to watch it again.

Some scenes in the trailer I had another view/imagimation where they would be, so I was surprised when they showed up differentely. But that is not negative! I liked the transition to different scenes. 2-3 lines was not so good, which made Sam Heughan to strugle to play them. That is like what was negative.

It is not a comedy that make you laugh hysterically. It is a movie that will make you smile. I liked how.

A good movie to watch by your self or with someone. A feel good movie.

This rom-com is made especially for Celine Dion fans. Why? Cause she played an integral part to its plot. Not to mention so many of her songs were used in it. As someone who enjoys Celine's songs, I also enjoy this movie. Don't be discouraged by raters who insensitively said that the main character took too much time mourning her deceased boyfriend. Those kind of people are dead on the inside, that's why they couldn't empathize with people who are grieving. They don't understand the kind of effort it takes to come out of that dark place. Anyway, for those who still can feel love, do give this movie a try. You won't regret it. Especially if you're a Celine Dion's die hard fan.

I missed old school romantic movies who doesnt need to become vulgar or make its protagonist humiliated through the whole movie.

Love again is so sweet of a film.

The two leading actors are loveable with good chemistry. The rhythm of the film is great. It goes by the book but who cares? There's magic that will make you feel warm and cozy. Oh, and the music from Dion is pretty cool too.

Watch it alone, with your partner or with your date and you'll definitely have a great time. Cinema needs more movies like this one. It doesnt have to get too complicated. Just deliver a simple and beautiful story with likeable characters.

Netflix has a fun line up of movies and series to date. So far they've kept me paying! I love both the leads in this and the supporting cast is nice too! It's about love, loss and starting over. I enjoyed it! I'd like to see Sam in a LOT more! (hubba hubba) The overall formula was a little predictable but guys... it's a ROM COM on Netflix...not The Titanic! I wanted a little more angst and drama with a twist, however, this was a pleasant experience and I believe it was absolutely worth my time tonight. It was nice seeing and hearing Celine Dion too! I've watched everything these two leads have done and it's a lovely addiction.
