I have often said in reviews that I can be a bit of an easy grader with romantic comedies. Perhaps because I write my own novels featuring witty characters flirting with romance, a film mostly has to just have witty leads and not insult my intelligence with the plot to gain a favorable overall response from me. This movie clears that admittedly low- to mid-height bar. Of course it also is required that the romantic leads have a chemistry together. This story seems original to me in that regard, as the main relationship seemed centers around the platonic love the three women feel for each other. They talk about men and obsess about men, but I felt like as long as they had each other they would be fine. So I was relieved the script didn’t opt for the low hanging fruit of having two of the woman seriously competing for the same guy. In fact, there seemed to be an awkwardness between Nate and Jenny despite their being so much in love for so long. Given the subplot surrounding their affair, if that chemistry hitch was purposeful acting, it was brilliantly done. In fact, yeah, let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was presented that way on purpose. The supporting cast was also good, especially Ru Paul coming close to a rush of scene-stealing brilliance. Was he just being himself? Whatever; it works. Jenny’s flashbacks approached having clumsy transitions at times, but once I was used to it I was fine with it. And the film seemed to rely on chiche one-night stands peppered here and there. It is this genre’s version of the explosion in action film or a chase scene in adventure tales. Perhaps it is expected by the more ravenous viewers. It just seems to lack imagination that could have been better utilized in other scenarios. But I found the movie entertaining and burdened by fewer cringeworthy moments than found in many rom-coms.
