Haley Lu Richardson & Ben Hardy play characters who fall in love while sharing a flight to London. Complications arise when she loses his phone number, so reconnecting becomes the film’s challenge. The screenplay elevates the rather predictable plot with smart repartee. One additional cute touch is the narrator (Jameela Jamil), who cleverly pops up in numerous small pivotal roles. Both of the leads are charming on their own and their positive chemistry is immediately evident. The only downside to this sparkling romance is that the dramatic elements dilute some of the perky positives and slow the pace a bit. Even so, Richardson’s smiling charisma and Hardy’s quiet appeal help this movie rise above the typical romcom.
