Things get off to an inauspicious start with a high-school flashback that digitally de-ages all the adult actors. Visually, it just looks off, but it does make a few things clear: Morgan (Allison Williams) and Jonah (Dave Franco) might be a perfect match for each other, but Jonah is dating Morgan\u2019s sister Jenny (Willa Fitzgerald), while Morgan has just discovered that she and boyfriend Chris (Scott Eastwood) are about to have a baby, and are therefore considering marriage. Fast forward 17 years; Morgan and Chris are raising daughter Clara (Mckenna Grace), Jonah and Jenny recently became new parents, and all seems fine. But when Chris and Jenny die in a car accident \u2013 and as a result, their years-long affair is revealed \u2013 Jonah and Morgan must grapple with their loss, as well as their dormant feelings for each other. It\u2019s a lot!<\/p>\n
Any exploration of overcoming grief feels surface-level, always coming second to lesser (and very predictable) romantic plots.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a good movie in here somewhere, about a mother and daughter trying to find their way through grief and betrayal to some sort of happiness. We even glimpse it, now and again. Williams is a capable, compelling lead, and there\u2019s a natural, lived-in feel to her early scenes with Grace\u2019s Clara. But once tragedy strikes, any tender mother-daughter moments are few and far between, Susan McMartin\u2019s script instead electing to keep Clara in rebellious brat mode for much of the movie\u2019s runtime. It gets old fast. As for Morgan and Jonah, the sparks that Williams and Franco sporadically generate never blossom into the type of sustained heat you\u2019d expect from characters who have been secretly pining for one another for so long.<\/p>\n
