This movie was awkward. I'm not sure if it was because of the script, or because I couldn't help seeing Sasha and Marcus as Doris and Louis from American Housewife and Fresh off the Boat (they were pretty much playing the same characters: the no-nonsense boss ass bitch, and the sweet guy who is kind of a pushover)
Also, that scene in the Burger King with them playing their 18-year old selves was awful. It made me so uncomfortable. It looked like two 30-something year olds trying to pretend to be teenagers as if they were doing a parody of themselves or something. You already casted two couples of kids to play the child and tween versions of Marcus and Sasha, why not cast two more actors to play them as teenagers? It would have been soooo much better.
The last scene with dad before the credits was super abrupt. And I'm not sure what message this movie is sending. It didn't feel like they compromised, but like he gave in into what she wanted in the end. I don't know. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. This is supposed to be a romcom after all.
