Kendrahahaha lovedFinding EmilyI mean he just could have tried to send a message to the 9 numbers and avoid a school scandal but I was all in
Thomas Joyce likedFinding EmilyBrother, never mind Emily, Angourie Rice is RIGHT there..! A lot of fun, it falls into a lot of the Rom-Com tropes, yet the film still manages to come off really well and feel surprisingly fresh. The several ending “tie-ups” were a little predicable, but there’s some good lessons of self-awareness…
- milliesimpson_x likedFinding Emily
i honestly really enjoyed the overall vibe/aesthetic of the movie and thought the plot was cute and stuff, i feel like i would’ve felt more connected to the plot if they’d made emily’s character more likeable as the connection between her and owen didn’t feel as real as it should’ve come across on…
Zoe lovedFinding EmilyThis belongs in the romcom hall of fame. Emily’s “I hate love” premise is so tired but every other thing about this movie was so well done (esp man who loves unapologetically!!) that I don’t even care. Their chemistry was so good, I laughed, I blushed, I need everyone to watch it
Mateo likedFinding EmilyDrove an hour to watch this and it definitely was worth it. While it’s a little predictable, it’s so funny and very accurate of dating culture today. Both of the characters are charming and the acting is great. Has its sad, but of course also its happy/wholesome moments. 7.5/10
- R.U. Him likedFinding Emily
Rom com done right with issues they actually address, also includes things society talks about today in social media. To me, this is better than Voicemails for Isabelle and that one movie where they meet every summer. Like we get the plot, add something and this movie delivers.
Callie is "meh" onFinding EmilyHonestly was so exited for this. It was disappointing how mediocre it was. I was expecting it to be really nice, but unfortunately I couldn’t feel ANY romance, and the plot was just meh☹️ I also feel bad for Owen, she didn’t seem truly remorseful. The chemistry wasn’t my fave
this girl likedFinding Emilyfavorite romcom i’ve watched all year! the entire theatre was *literally* giggling and kicking their feet (i saw the shoes of the people in the row in front of me!) a little slow at first but you will be fully invested by the second act
