Plus One (I) (2019)
6/10
Should have Dug Deeper Dramatically

Admittedly, it's pretty difficult to get on board with characters when their first scenes include one being extremely belligerent and the other being rude to his 'plus one' at a wedding. Usually you would like to build up to such character moments, but luckily the film does get better as it goes in developing its two leads. Those leads being Jack Quaid and Maya Erskine, both grow in performance as their characters grow, including one very powerful scene by Erskine when their relationship comes to a head. I never completely bought these two as a great match, but I guess that's part of what the film was trying to tell us, you can't be waiting for someone perfect, because that person doesn't exist. This one will more than likely be forgotten in the rom-com genre, but it's worth checking out if you've been feeling a void in the dying genre of romantic films.

6.3/10
