When the most enjoyable part of a movie is the end credits, you know you've got a problem. Very disappointed with this one and honestly confused how it's getting so much positive attention and doing well at the box office. The writing felt like Hallmark/Lifetime took a stab at R-rated. I know "chemistry" is subjective, but I didn't feel chemistry between any of these characters. And I don't know if the writing is to blame, but Sydney Sweeney wasn't really working for me at all. I've been a fan of Glen Powell since the excellent Everybody Wants Some (an R-Rated rom-com that is actually good, go watch that instead), so I was very much expecting to enjoy this, but even he wasn't able to save it.
