This movie is carried solely by the charms of Haley Lu Richardson. She really knows how to convey hot chemistry with a dude using her vulnerable eyes and heartfelt facial expressions. Ben Hardy, on the other hand, is just OK. He has his charms, but I feel he looks too old for 22. Sure enough, he is really 32 years old. Back to Richardson - she can be the modern-day Sandra Bullock replacement. Very charming, very pretty, with an oozing girl-next-door vibe. The meet-cute on the plane is worth the watch, however, as soon as their personal lives are introduced, the movie goes quickly downhill, especially with the storyline of Oliver's parents. It's cringe. The horrendous soundtrack doesn't help either. Instead of having wondrous themes about fate, the movie devolves into contrived moments, so it's such a shame because the movie started out so well.
