An Enjoyable Watch, Making Up for Lack of Surprise With Its Agreeable Charm
Despite predictable elements typical of rom-coms, its charm is amplified by solid performances from Emily Bader and Tom Blyth.
We find ourselves in an age where romance — not to be confused with love — is manufactured, off screen as much as it is on it. The list of perennial favourites in the Hollywood romantic-comedy genre rarely deviate beyond When Harry Met Sally, Notting Hill, The Notebook, and You’ve Got Mail, and I am not just talking about someone like me who is of a certain vintage. Gen-Z may argue — “What about To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before?” or “Haven’t you watched La La Land?” — and with solid enough reason, but a classic rom-com for the ages has been a long time coming.
Tom Blyth, Emily Bader Charm in Funny, Delightful Rom-Com
Adapted from Emily Henry's popular book, the story of best friends Alex (Tom Blyth) and Poppy (Emily Bader) soars beyond the cliches.
The first adaptation of author Emily Henry’s work is off to a flying start. Director Brett Haley stays close to Henry’s work with People We Meet on Vacation, as two best friends, Alex (Tom Blyth) and Poppy (Emily Bader), reunite every summer to travel to new places. Of course, with every trip, their relationship changes as they wonder if they could be right for one another. The Netflix film doesn’t change the genre by any means, but Blyth and Bader elevate the material with their chemistry and witty banter.
