Consider the denouement of our #1 choice for Most Romantic Movie Ever: “Casablanca.” Rick doesn’t escape with Isla on the plane in the fog at the end. Sebastian and Mia end up married to other people at the end of “La La Land” and, as everybody by now has heard, Rhett Butler didn’t give a damn about Scarlett O’Hara as soon as the wind was gone.īut the unhappy ending is sometimes what makes a romantic masterpiece so thrilling. Remember, Doctor Yuri Zhivago dies of a heart attack just moments after he finally rediscovers Lara after three hours of frozen, bloody Russian hell on screen. Before Love Can Conquer All, there must be struggle, redemption, confusing mishaps, mayhem and sometimes a sinking boat.īut in many surprising cases, love doesn’t win out. There was such a difference with Rob! This is a move worth seeing - again and again.Hollywood’s greatest romantic movies don’t feature all cooing and kissing, if you think about it. I'm giving this a 9 simply because I did not fully believe the chemistry between Mira & John, her dead fiancee. He's quite good! I left feeling emotionally stirred in a good way. That he's Pri's husband in RL makes it more so. Mira's sister and Rob's two working comrades are adorable! And funny! Nick Jonas was also very amusing in his bit part. The supporting actors all deserve mention. She actually tells her story of the loss of her husband. Her involvement in the story adds a different unusual flavor. She is so incredibly beautiful! Celine is Celine in her movie debut - she & her music do not disappoint. She brings depth, vulnerability and warmth to Mira. The camera loves him! He's really funny but also very believable when his heart is breaking. He lights up & dominates the screen, no small thing with Priyanka as his partner.
There are some lol moments and a few tears, too. They're wonderful together! When Mira & Rob meet you can see their attraction, their awkwardness, their shyness.
Sam & Priyanka are not only gorgeous, they are fine actors who bring sorrow and heartbreak to life. It deals with loss and heartbreak as the foundation for the relational building blocks to come. Old school & welcome! Romcoms by nature are formulaic.
