Which Brings Me to You - Storia di una confessione

Lucy Hale, who I discovered in "The Hating Game", is absolutely lovely...but plays the hot mess Jane in this film. Together with Nat Wolff, who plays Will, they make up the romantic duo which starts as a simple wedding guest hook-up...but quickly and somewhat awkwardly morphs into the potential for more.

These two are well suited for one another, Hale and Wolff, with excellent chemistry. The story is unusual for a romantic comedy, in fact it tells itself rather inside out. We learn about all of their past failed relationships...the why you wouldn't want to be in a relationship with either one, but at some point you start pulling for these two.

I am not going to say this is the most romantic film, but I think young people today might identify with their plight. While not on my recommendation list, I didn't hate it. I enjoy some of the dialogue and the idea of being brutally honest from the start.

In director Peter Hutchings' pretentious romance flick "Which Brings Me To You" Nat Wolff (terrific actor - wasted here) & Lucy Hale (meh) meet at a wedding where he defers having sex til after they've shared long, competitive accounts of their love-lives (only Keith Bunin knows why (or Steve Almond & Julianna Baggott on whose novel he based this screenplay on)). It gets tedious fast, and ends up dragging excrutiatingly - mainly due to the dislikeableness of the characters, particularly Hale's. Any appeal it could have would rely on maintaining interest in the two leads... who except to themselves (and apparently each other) are not interesting at all. A turd. Flush it away.

I kept reading how this was a romcom, but it's definitely missing the comedy part.

Lucy Hale is great, Nat Wolff was ok, the soundtrack was horrible. I think the movie would have so much more potential but the soundtrack was one of the things that kind of killed it and made it quite boring.

It's always this mellow music with no exciting parts.

In my opinion the movie consisted of way too many slow scenes and too little funny scenes to lift the mood. I also don't get how they cast all these beautiful women as his ex-partners and these, well, not as attractive men for her. She had zero chemistry with any of them.

The chemistry between the main characters was also not the greatest. I was so looking forward to this movie but am pretty disappointed.

There's just no romance in these romance movies lately. Everything is dealing with sex almost immediately. I loved these actors in other movies and figured this would be a good movie too but it's really slow and not something you can really watch with friends. It wasn't horrible and the storyline was decent But I definitely wish there was more romance instead of 10 different sex scenes in one way or another. Think it's tiring not knowing what I can watch with a friend or watch with a family member or something without it turning into something raunchy. Do better Hollywood. This movie could have been better.

Jane (Lucy Hale) and Will (Nat Wolff) are strangers and guests at a wedding. She almost has drunken sex with him before he stops her. They start to talk about their past relationships.

My initial superficial take is that Will needs to be hunkier. It would help especially since his character pulls so many beautiful women. After that initial thought, my next hot take is that this is trying to be Before Sunrise. Again, this would benefit from an Ethan Hawke like actor. The main difference is the many flashbacks. I both like them and have issues with them. I would like Will to have fewer women and concentrate on setting up the final reveal. Juliet should be his first 'girlfriend' story and then the last flashback should be a repeat of the same story with the truth revealed. At the end of the day, I really like the attempt even if it's not completely successful.
