Once again, the trailer is deceptive. Would that this were a rom-com. Alas, it’s a rom-dram. Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller play a long-married couple. He dies and she follows soon after. When they get to the transition place, she has to decide whether to spend eternity with him or with her first love, who died young and waited 67 years for her (Callum Turner). There is potential for comedy, but the few meager moments come courtesy of supporting “Afterlife Coordinators” John Early and Da’Vine Joy Randolph. Otherwise, it’s a back-and-forth drama, where the tangled trio debates the pros and cons of their potential lasting relationship. Fortunately, the chemistry among the 3 leads makes the uninteresting script more bearable. Otherwise, this is an attempt at heart-warming romance, but it only manages to be moderately endearing.
