I stumble with this by accident , a morning before going to work while passing by TNT. Only get to see 20 minutes initially, but i was caught up and search when they played it again.
Plus One is the story of two longtime friends who accompanied each other during that ackward period when you simply lose your friends in the hands of adulthood and marriage.
It's the kind of movie wich is easily mistaken as a shallow and simple story. Romantic comedies are one of the most difficult genre of all, simply because if you don't get to feel a conection with the characters or empathy or ''believe'' what they express, it's only a boring void with a few jokes.
From the beggining, i considered a comedy who dare to address themes like loneliness, fear of failure , and troubled families AND still leaves you with a smile, it's almost a gem.
Special note to Maya Erskine performance, i think it's a star in the making. Funny, witty, a delight to see what she did with the character.
Regarding Jack quaid's Ben, i think it's unfair to see some reviews about the difference between his performance and Mrs Erskine. The dinamic of the couple, would've never worked if both have played in the same level of intensity. They complemented each other quite nicely, and mostly you believed them as friends first and a couple in the making.
I had a good time watching this movie, which is a lot to say these days in cinema, delivers what is supossed to deliver and get you interested in the couple.
