The Right One

I could not feel any chemistry between the two main characters, so much so that every conversation they have, seems so unnatural and forced. I gave this movie a 5, just because of the topic of mental issue, but other than that, I wouldn't watch it again.

This is a story of two people figuring out there lives. One is a female romance novel writer with a block. The other is a man living his life through characters because he can't process his past as a foster kid with a horrifying experience. She meets him as an unknown and is is immediately intrigued and pursues.him relentlessly as he's the most interesting person she's met in a while. Her fun experiences with him helps her writing and as she learns more she wants to help him.

Enjoyed watching it, kind of reminded me of Reign Over Me as far as the main character acting oddly based on a loss of a loved one. But the actors were believable although the main drama was a little unlikely to happen in real life. Who would leave their phone on the table unlocked for anyone to look at?

Really sweet and interesting movie. Would love if they did a second one!

4/10 - silly and forgettable direct-to-streaming rom-com never really proves why it exists nor why you should spend your time watching it.

Not chemistry between the leads who are also very unlikable. Couldn't care less if they got together. So pretentious and trying way too hard to be cooky A yawnfest.

As much as I pushed to watch till the end, hoping for an interesting twist.. nothing! The story could unravel differently but it's just weird how the events went and how the characters are forcefully interfering .. and the end is soooooooo predictable and empty.

Billed as a comedy, it really is not very funny. The quirkiness of the characters is somewhat interesting and the drama is not bad, but the movie is not compelling enough to recommend.

Sara (Cleopatra Coleman) is a feminist writer turned trashy romance novelist. Her best friend and agent Kelly (Iliza Shlesinger) is desperate for a new book but Sara is struggling with writer's block. She encounters Godfrey (Nick Thune) randomly in two different places with him portraying two completely different characters. He's a chameleon and a highly successful salesman. He keeps changing his personality and one never knows the real Godfrey. Sara is intrigued. This movie depends on the audience to empathize with Sara. One needs to see Godfrey as fascinating. Sara's a writer and I can see this as an intriguing exercise. I'm not a writer or an actor. I don't find him fascinating. Right from the start, I saw Godfrey as faking his performance. It takes a long time before he shows his true face. He keeps me at a distance as the audience. I'm just not as invested as Sara for her quest. It also taints the meet-cute. I do like Coleman but this rom-com is not getting me.
