A Outra Zoey

A weak script and a bum's rush ending, it deserved to have an ending that went beyond Jam Fest. I liked the leads Langford and Starkey, but there was too much time spent on roommate Elle and her love interest Diego and too little time on Zoey's love interest Zach. Amnesia is a formulaic plot and love apps are so overused in rom-coms.

Andie MacDowell is a acting veteran, good in anything she's in. The rest of the cast was ok. Due to the strike we haven't heard from the leads or the writer and the director. Why didn't they interview cast and crew right after the shooting, so they had something for previews and to generate interest in the movie? If Netflix was looking for filler content, this was filler.

This is just another film that brings absolutely nothing new in terms of ideas. It features the usual cliché of a naive young girl who lies for far too long, embarasses herself, loses her friend for a short period of time and runs back to mommy. Eventually, she decides is time put on her big girl pants and face the world, which she does. And, lo and behold, like winning the lottery with a scratched-up ticket, she stumbles into the happy ending she most definitely doesn't deserve!

On a positive note, I do like seeing new/fresh/young actors with potential on screen, so at least it has that going for it.

I feel like the best way to describe this film is like "watching Wattpad." Everything they do in this film doesn't feel lifelike at all and I think that's what made it amusing.

Acting was mid, nothing crazy. If u wanna watch this movie, just manage ur expectations. Some parts are kinda cute and some kinda little random.

I feel like Zach is such a cute character, especially after the incident. Pretty predictable plot. This is one of those movies you watch when you don't feel like seeing something very extreme, where you have to pay attention to the details to understand what's going on.

I recommend watching it if you're in the mood for a basic romance movie.

I wouldn't describe this as Romcom

The love interests don't have much screen time or development and the two leads have very average chemistry.

I think there is a certain disappointment with this movie because the trailer was misleading. The love triangle was very anti climatic and there wasn't much comedy.

I enjoyed the character of Zoey purely because Josephine Langford has such great star quality . I watched this due to me being a fan of hers in the after series and she did not disappoint. I also liked the friendship between her and her best friend, that added a different and interesting twist.

The story itself is fine if you're looking for an easy watch but if you had expectations for a 90's style romcom like me then it doesn't live up to the hype.

I am a total romantic comedy sucker, whilst at the same time, completely hating the relentless steretypes and tropes, and being sickened by the internalised misogynistic/ paternalistic biases usually on display. I am always on the lookout for a truly NEW romantic comedy. This movie isn't quite that, but I think it's trying to take a step in that direction.

The romantic set-up uses a ridiculous range of tropes; my MOST hated here being; a smart person making a series of stupid decisions. And kudos to the 'amnesia' trope. The choice of amnesia in particular was a clue that the writer was deliberately using obvious tropes in an attempt to subvert them. It does a good job of showing rather than explaining this, so at least it assumes the audience is smart.

Whilst it's generally inoffensive, it is never quite moving, either as comedy or drama. Still. It is trying to say something...maybe the very simple "Don't close yourself off from love". And the cast is diverse, very natural in their characterisations, and of course, very beautiful.

Though it's nothing challenging, it is enjoyable, and I think, can claim to be uncommon in its lack of implicit misogyny. Feel reassured it is watchable. Purely for entertainment.
