Celine Song directs Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in this romance where a high end Manhatthan matchmaker must chose between her ideal man and her flawed (poor) ex.

Beautiful looking movie with a stunning three header of honeys. The satire on entitlement and expectation would work better if it wasn’t so deadpan and full of pregnant pauses. The funny lines have zero zip. There is a strong story here but it is too in love with its own themes to really chime. Celine Song thinks subtext is for cowards. Shout out to Chris Evans’ tall, handsome, emotionally intelligent underdog with a full head of hair and only… ONLY… two thousand dollars in savings. What a pauper! Hope he makes it.
