The One You're With

I saw this on Youtube. A hidden gem. Definitely unique in style. I absolutely loved the ending but it hits close to home. And I thought it was realistic about relationships in a way that rom coms are almost never, although I'm not sure rom-com is the right description. The leads were great. And the bit parts were also great. Very romantic balanced by an almost over the top humor. And he uses the music to advance the story and set the mood so well. I don't think of this as a good independent movie; it's just a good movie and one keep watching over and over. Reminds me of another gem I found on Youtube - The First Love. A labor of love that gets dismissed as a teen romance but is so much more. This could be dismissed as a rom com but it's trying to do something more. I'm even nicer to my wife as a result.

Just needed to laugh at the rediclouslesness of what we have all lived through!! I mean,it really.could happen!??!! Cute Film!

...atrocious execution.

The one you're with tell the story of a man and a woman who get stuck living together after a first date when a national state of emergency strikes. It's a concept with so much space to move, huge potential and high release date relevance. It's the kind of concept that should have made it an instant cult classic.

Unfortunately the way the female lead was written can only have someone conclude C. Bailey Werner (aka Chad Werner) has never actually spent any real, quality time with a woman. Every interaction between the characters is disingenuous in the most tedious of ways.

Characters have a tendency to change their personalities completely from scene to scene, and there are no consequences from negative interactions in previous scenes. This creates inconsistent, unrealistic characters that are impossible to relate to, and zero stakes to invest the viewer in.

The one you're with, is a movie that tries way to hard instead of just being itself. The woke jokes are clumsy or worse go completely unnoticed.

A complete waste of your time, and an insult to everyone. Give this one a miss.

Written, directed and starring... oh and it sounds like him singing every terrible song in this too. If you're thinking about watching this you can definitely find something better. Give it a miss.

A couple of things that stand out as really not funny, the president on the tv who is a black man that's seemingly incompetent and stupid in regards to the pandemic.

Over 600k Americans are have died from covid as of now, the President who was actually in power when this movie is set was a non black, psychopathic weirdo so the choice here was hardly inclusive and made zero sense.

It was just bad taste. Are these scenes supposed to be funny? With or without hindsight?

I can't see how this is being released on any streaming platform today.

I couldn't rate this lower than 1 star but it doesn't even deserve a star.

If this film maker gets his friends and family to write some fake reviews or boost his rating with fake stars after I publish this you're just going to have to trust me, this film is a pile of rubbish.

One of the most annoying films ever made.

Even though it doesn't have much things to see, the movie felt comforting and warm. It was like i was watching a livestream. Decent humour and something like this could happen in the future, so pretty relatable.
