This movie is promoted as a comedy.
It isn't.
I agree with some of the other reviewers that it is likely that many viewers missed the point. Perhaps had the movie been presented as a drama it might not have been such a let down to so many.
You have comedic powerhouses Pete Davidson (SNL) and Kaley Cuoco (BIG BANG THEORY) paired up on a movie presented as a ROM COM that fails to deliver anything comedic.
The movie does touch on poignant and serious subject matter. Suicide, depression, obsession, and the reality that we should live in and enjoy each moment rather than dwelling on the past. In fact it goes further by showing that in dwelling on something GOOD - it can become toxic.
The movie also toys with fate - the inevitability that all things happen for a reason - leading us to where we ultimately need to be - no matter how hard we try to change things.
In some ways - these points are well made and well delivered, yet it is hard not to feel like this was a BAIT AND SWITCH.
This is why I gave it 5 stars.
