Rebecca and Matthew Jones, a newly married couple, are facing minor financial challenges. Rebecca yearns for a new home, tired of apartment living, while Matthew is hesitant about moving into a house. They each have their reasons. After some circumstances and encouragement, they decide to go "unplugged" whenever they're together-no electronic devices-to rediscover their relationship's roots. This journey helps them reconnect on a deeper level, reminiscent of their pre-marriage days when life, work, and social media weren't distractions. They face obstacles due to missed opportunities from putting their phones down, but their love triumphs over media distraction and instant gratification, ultimately fulfilling their dreams.
The theme captivated me, offering a unique narrative that kept me engaged, anticipating the plot's direction.
I noticed they refrain from kissing on the lips, possibly due to one of the main actors having a personal pact, likely the actress who doesn't frequently appear in movies or shows. Perhaps this choice stems from a spouse's preference, understandable given her past prominence, notably in 'The OC', despite her subsequent career challenges unrelated to her own efforts. She endured harassment, stalking, and abuse, unfortunate realities of Hollywood's darker side. Her resilience is commendable amidst such hardships.
