The One You're With (2021)
The least romantic ending to a rom com ever, which ruined the entire movie.
The least romantic ending to a rom com ever, which ruined the entire movie.
Which was also a shame. The lead actors were quite good and they had chemistry together.. The premise was both timely and interesting. The plot, though predictable from the premise, was ok. The movie was funny until the ending.
But the ending. The ending was atrocious. By their very nature rom coms require a happy, and most importantly romantic ending. We do not get that here.
I think I get what C. Bailey Werner, the writer, director and lead actor, was going for. That is, to be "artistic," subvert the genre, and end with dark comedy. That, however, is not what people are looking for in a rom com. Very disappointing.

Step Dave (2014)
Love this show. Funny, touching well-written and well-acted.
This New Zealand show is really wonderful. It has a lot of heart and is consistently funny.
The entire cast is suburb;; there is not a weak actor among them. Every actor nails their character.
In 2017, Deadline reported that NBC in the United States bought "Step Dave" and put it into development. I can't find anymore news on this.
If NBC ever produces and airs the show, they should consider bringing back the original cast, and particularly Sia Trokenheim as Cara and Jono Kenyon as Dave. Both their chemistry and their comic timing are perfect They are completely believable as a couple who love each other.
