Not a rom com because there is no "com" - not a single joke in a film that cries out for comic relief, despite having Reid Scott and Annie Mumolo. It's played straight, directed nicely, with two attractive stars, Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine. It's quite sweet. The actor playing Hathaway's daughter is too old - when she whines to her mother it's like "come on you're an adult".
At times I wondered if Hathaway was bored in her role but I think she was playing it straightlaced.
Part of me couldn't help wishing they'd have just done the Harry Styles-Olivia Wilde story more closely, with Jason Sudekis upset over the salad, and Florence Pugh steaming in the corner but anyways...
