When I saw the trailer for Love Again I knew it was going to be a movie that made me cry. I also knew that I would see anything with Priyanka in it so I was pretty excited to see it. Then we never got around to seeing it in theaters. And enter Netflix to save the day so we are finally watching Love Again and here is my formal review.

It seems like Love Again is trying to follow basic romantic comedy structure; there is a boy, there is a girl, one of them goes out of their way to meet the other in a way that would make the other person have a less than desirable reaction. So it’s a secret that eventually comes out. Third act misunderstanding or they find out and then happy ending. The problem with the execution for this movie is that it doesn’t flesh out any of those beats very well. We don’t find out his backstory until his first date with Mira…which by the way was his opportunity to tell her about the texts he’s been getting from her. I give this movie a 3/10, I love romantic comedies but this one was not good. I could forgive it being bad if it was bad and campy, or bad because it’s cheesy. But the writing is just bad, there is nothing redeemable.
