The Keanu Reeves part is the clear highlight here, including the end credits song.
Overall this is a perfectly watchable rom-com. Randall Park is always a delight, and he and Ali Wong balance each other well. It's pretty predictable and doesn't do anything new. I would have liked it to spend more time on when Marcus and Sasha were younger to build our investment in them as unrequited childhood sweethearts, and also because they young Marcus and Sasha cast were very adorable.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warm, funny reunion romance that mines genuine emotion from two people rediscovering each other while grappling with how much they've changed. It balances laugh-out-loud humor with the tender ache of what might have been.
