Review of Plus One

Plus One (I) (2019)
5/10
YOU'VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE...!
23 February 2024
A bottom of the barrel rom/com from 2019 starring Jack Quaid (from the Boys) & Maya Erskine (currently starring on Mr. & Mrs. Smith on Prime) which borrows heavily from Four Weddings & a Funeral & 27 Dresses as we follow a pair of bickering besties as they become each other's plus one during wedding season. At first amusingly putting up w/each other's idiosyncrasies & behavioral faux pas soon blossoms into a romantic clutch which the pseudo couple/now a couple until that moment when one party doesn't acknowledge the other's love for each other until they surprise, no surprise come back together before that last song plays during the end credits. The film does coast along w/the charm & flinty acid between Quaid & Erskine but by having a plug & play narrative someone used from some script program sinks whatever good will the actors have cultivated. Also starring Ed Begley Jr. As Quaid's dad.
