A rom com starring Diane Keaton and Richard Gere should be a sure bet. Instead, “Maybe I Do” is one of the worst films of their careers. Read beastobsessed's review:
, last year’s utter trainwreck featuring Julia Roberts and George Clooney as two divorced parents bickering at their daughter’s wedding. No matter how splashy your stars may be, nothing can make up for a terrible, unfunny script devoid of all romance.Maybe I DoTwo sets of older couples—Howard and Grace , and Monica and Sam —have grown tired of each other. So, they seek companionship in new lovers.
Part of the appeal of a romantic comedy is the escapism—throwing away all cynicism, rom-coms prevail as beams of blind hope.has the chance to offer hope in its young couple, played by two actors who had such wonderful chemistry in the Netflix original rom-com. They are stripped of all personality in this new movie, though. When we meet Michelle and Allen at a wedding, Michelle is hoping to catch the bridal bouquet to be the next bride.
These are the only two traits we get for these two: Michelle hopes to marry Allen; Allen thinks marriage is a relationship’s death sentence. They spend the rest of the film arguing over their conflicting views until they can’t argue any longer, calling their parents for advice. And, let’s remember, these parents don’t know a thing about staying committed to a relationship.
