Love
the romance in this one and the comedy always hit home as this movie
had some very very amazing moments. Keanu Reeves here was just good
fun. He plays himself and to be honest it was funny seeing douche-bag
Keanu Reeves.
Ali
Wong and Randall Park both worked in the writing and production of
this movie which they both starred in the lead roles. They had a
great on screen chemistry, and it was a charm to see them together.
Wong is someone I'm not familiar with in the acting world, but she
was good enough to partner Park to make this movie memorable for me.
The
movie is a Netflix original and the plot has Wong and Park play Sasha
and Marcus respectively, who are childhood friends from San
Francisco.
They
were inseparable at one time in their life and had feelings for each
other, but were just too stubborn to say anything about it.
Sasha
basically grew up in Marcus' house with his mother teaching her how
to cook. Her parents were hardly around, and Marcus’ kind of filled
in.
After
Marcus' mum died the two had sex for the first time (losing their
virginity to one another) and the experience ruined their friendship.
It wasn’t the sex, but their words after that did the damage.
They
parted ways, with Sasha leaving to become a successful chef and
Marcus staying back finding it hard to move on with his life.
Sixteen
years later, they've grown up and have become very different. Sasha
has given up everything for her work. Marcus has given up on
everything all together.
They
both reconnect when Sasha returns to San Francisco for a two month
period to open a restaurant. After some very entertaining moments a
romantic relationship begins and we get to see some of the demons
both have deep down come out swinging.
The
movie is one of those brief and straight to the point kind of matter.
The was a brief time we spent seeing the two trying to get by without
one another, then they are together and have to deal with the things
they fail to address.
The
director here Nahnatchka Khan is someone you will be familiar with,
if you ever saw the show she created for ABC called Fresh Off the
Boat. The TV-Show also stars Randall Park.
So
take some cool time with your lady to sit back and watch this movie
on Netflix and you will be glad you did.
