I nearly gave up towards the end, but i was resolute on giving Meg Ryan a shot to win me back all these years later. I am sad to report that that did not happen, all that's left for us is a life of Rom com memories.
In this movie, the estranged couple gets stranded in an airport together for 24 hours and find themselves rehashing the past and finding new ways to fall in love with each other all over again, or perhaps to try and find better meaning to what happened before. David Duchovny definitely feels out of place here, expressionless and flat, while Meg Ryan pulls all her signature moves in order to try to keep our attention, which is a hard thing to do when dialog is interrupted by absurd airport announcer interjection and an obscenely empty airport.
The dialog is actually well written and some of the directing is impressive, especially for a movie that starts with two dancing snowflakes. Don't ask.
At the end of the day this is a movie for an audience that got tired of these types of movies, and this is a movie that wants to be mature and wants to touch on life after life happens, but just can't seem to reach, because it is neither a romantic comedy, or an adult drama, it is trying to be both, and that has never worked.
Next time Meg, pick a lane.
