Il giorno perfetto

When that one really good dream I had in my life is made as a movie. Special and unique version of the conversation made by two really good actors in leading roles. My appreciation goes to all cast and production as well. Nothing was mediocre or banal to me about this loving chance of someone to keep the other person happy close to own life. Just one day as all other days in everybody's hard as hell life to be worth of trying when you know who is your reason to stay. The real connection we have is always someone else, the other human being and nothing else ever. Why is this so hard to believe?

"Meet Cute" is this year's "Destination Wedding" / "Always Be My Maybe" - ie a fresh, edgy, original, funny, darkish, brilliantly written rom-com delivered thru two excellent leads. Via Deborah S Craig's time-machine adorbs (but sad) Kaley Cuoco (sensational) keeps re-living her first random NY 'date' with Pete Davidson... but somehow it doesn't stay fresh, and her time-travelling tweaks to 'fix' him only make it worse. Will their 'love' survive the night(s)? Noga Pnueli's superb debut script cleverly mirrors real relationship issues, but stays bright, fun & engaging. Props to all (inc director Alex Lehmann). "50 First Dates" x "Groundhog Day" = a belter.

Please ignore the bad ratings. This movie is falsly advertised and promoted as a romcom. But in fact it's a heartfelt dramedy about struggling with love because of emotional trauma. And How to Deal with it. So it's not what you would expect regarding the trailer.

Liked the overall atmosphere and cinematography.

It shines with bittersweetness, small moments and touching philosophical aspects. Story and characters are relatable for those, who suffered the same in their lives. It may not be as enjoyable if you are not aware of what the characters are going through. However, it's told in a sweet way. Depends on you.

Worth a watch. 🖤

This is a really good film.

But whoever was in charge for marketing this film needs to lose their job. It is sold in every way as a RomCom. The name of the film, the images just in publicity, even the synopsis reads as a RomCom.

What this movie really is is a deep look at mental health. About struggles we may have in life and the things we think we need to make our problems go away. It's a really challenging piece about society and the world we live in. It's many things. But it is not a Romantic Comedy.

There are outstanding performances from the two leads (who carry about 95% of the whole film).

It really jumps around, there are lots of changes of direction, just when you think you know where it's going, a new layer is revealed.

But because of the awful job done by the marketing team, the audience that will truly appreciate the film will probably pass it by.

People expecting a RomCom will be frustrated, turn off after 15 minutes and leave a bad rating and review.

This movie comes off as something the studio had in mind to package and sell as a romantic comedy, when in actuality it tackles much deeper issues and themes. By the end of the viewing what I had expected to be an affair full of predictable ups and downs with the familiar "Will they, won't they?" tropes turned out to be a journey of nihilistic existentialism that bordered on becoming a really good philosophical film. Had the filmmakers and studios decided to lean more heavily into the artistic side of this movie it could have very well been another Mr. Nobody, which similarly explored deep philosophical questions while bringing us on a journey of two star crossed lovers who were destined to be together, but had to go through hell and back to get there.

A surprising turn of events that turned something that promised a generic experience into something with substance!
