Is it a 10? No, it's not a 10. But I'm showing my support against the people who inexplicably rated it a 1. Realistically, it's a solid 7 and a helluva good time.
Basic plot is Abby Myers is about to get married and finds out her fiancé slept with a celebrity from his free pass list. With her life turned upside down, she heads out to LA with her best friend Chloe to track down and sleep with one of the five men on her own list.
The setup is actually super fun and relatable. It opens the doors to lots of celebrity name dropping and pop culture references which makes this super fun for anyone who reads US Weekly or follows gossip pages on social.
Dialogue is really clever. I found myself giggling at a lot of the exchanges and then cracking up at some of the big physical comedy moments. If anything I wanted to see even more if it. Halston carries the movie (she is basically in every scene, and I wasn't complaining). Great supporting cast led by Chrissie Fit who is hilarious, and Christian Navarro who is absolutely charming. The small characters also really bring the funny too.
Overall - a sweet and charming rom com with more laughs than average. I think it's a perfect date night movie!

My wife and I have spent countless and countless nights scrolling streaming services to eventually be disappointed by an underwhelming rom com that looks to have potential. Finally, we found an enjoyable one. The List features a cute plot where a fiancé sleeps with a celebrity from his hall pass list, and follows the journey of the former soon to be bride on her quest for revenge. As you can imagine, her quest is not as straightforward as she intended, and the fantastic writing leads her to unexpected discoveries both funny and heart-warming. Overall, if you're looking for an easy watch with your partner, that's funny, well written and keeps your attention, The List ticks all the boxes.
