Cleopatra Coleman, Nick Thune, and Iliza Shlesinger in The Right One (2021)
In this heartfelt and hilarious rom-com, Sara, a novelist struggling with writer's block, needs inspiration — and finds it when she serendipitously meets Godfrey, a down-on-his-luck oddball who constantly changes personas and alter egos in order to cope with his past and avoid reality. Just as Godfrey begins to open up to Sara, he discovers that she’s been using him as inspiration for her next novel, and he vanishes from her life. Did Sara just lose the man of her dreams, or will she be able to find him and make things right?

    The Right One

    4/10 - silly and forgettable direct-to-streaming rom-com never really proves why it exists nor why you should spend your time watching it.

    Fun Love with a twist

    Great quirky take on the age old love story. Lots of humour mixed with a look at some serious psychological scarring. The acting's great witch goes hand in hand with great directing, good scripting, good cinematography, all in all a very enjoyable and enlightening watch. I would highly recommend.

    Different, but not compelling enough to recommend :-(

    Billed as a comedy, it really is not very funny. The quirkiness of the characters is somewhat interesting and the drama is not bad, but the movie is not compelling enough to recommend.

    Love story with a twist.

    As the title says its a love story with a twist It's one that is not as predictable as the rest and a great story behind it.

    Very rare and unique story compared to every other love story.

    Fun little love story

    He suffered a childhood trauma and has created a number of alternate personas to live with his grief. All his friends love him and he seems to be the best at his game in everything. But he won't let anyone else in so when she begins to notice him she tries to get him to open up to her. He brings her into his world but he doesn't want to open up to her which eventually pushes her away. She realises from her friends she chose incorrectly so she tries again.....

    It's sweet but its slow.

    Good Scripting Good Filming Good Acting Good Sound Track

    Its worth a watch 👍
