Which Brings Me to You

The leads met at the wedding and spent the time together talking about their past relationships.

The movie has a heart but it would have worked if they had made the story a little better. Not some of the trash that Netflix pumps regularly. But the story becomes more unbelievable as the time goes on. I can handle some improbable things but it becomes ridiculous if overdone. They spend the whole movie talking with each other. The chemistry between them is somewhat lacking. The movie rests solely on the two leads which makes the chemistry between them everything. This is good for a casual watch. But can't recommend it to anyone who is not a rom-com fanatic.

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.

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.

Romantic melodrama '' which brings me to you '' is a movie based on a book by the same title and it tells the story of two people who meet at a wedding and share their romantic experiences so far.

And even though the concept is interesting, the movie doesn't deliver. Sure, it is a nice story to read, but not to watch, as the past stories ended up being more interesting than the main one. Especially since the main couple didn't have any chemistry or any moments to support their big and instant connection that lead them to a romance of a day.

The performances, on the other hand, were decent enough.

You know, I'm sharing my first ever review here because it felt a crime this movie didn't have any and it just hit me so hard.

Not sure, either, if others will relate as well but it just hit home so hard to a relationship of the greatest love I've had that fell through due to heavy past and then on it's way to being together despite it all because love can conquer all (if you choose it).

Kind of felt very relatable. A different take on a story told in so many times and in so many ways. It felt fresh, it felt so heartbreakingly true. I felt the character's pain as my own. I felt their hope of finding the right piece of broken to make a whole as my own.

I get that this review is not some critical acclaim but it struck a chord. If you are a fan of long, deep conversations with loved ones (or someone that could be one), give it a shot. It might suprise you and you can find some of your own pain (and hope) in it.
