2026 * PG-13 * 1h 57m Every once in a while I indulge myself and watch a sappy romance. Most times I'm disappointed. They're usually so formulaic you know exactly what's going to happen and how it's going to turn out. Well this one was a little predictable but the storyline was a bit different. And the two leads had definite chemistry.
Poppy (Emily Bader) and Alex (Tom Blyth) meet by chance one day. They both just happen to be from the same small town in Ohio. But they're total opposites. Poppy has a dream job as a travel writer that takes her all around the world. She's always up for anything. Alex on the other hand, is a total homebody. He's just happy wherever is happens to be. Well, they become fast friends and decide to go somewhere exotic together, once every summer.
Cut to the present day (Nine years later). The two have had a falling out and haven't spoken in a couple years. But they end up reconnecting at his brother's wedding in Spain. The movie jumps back and forth from the present to just about every year they vacationed together. It's a fun, light film that features some beautiful and exotic locations. And as I mentioned earlier, their chemistry is fantastic, and totally believable. If you're in the mood for a well done romantic film, be sure to check it out.
3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
Currently streaming on Netflix.
