![]() ![]() ![]() With Jesse back is Sam going to be friend-zoned again, this time for good?Īctually although Emma’s dad thanks him for helping her find a second chance there’s an uncomfortable sense that Sam is actually second choice, someone Emma is settling for, along with her life running the family bookshop, something she had tried to avoid until she was “widowed”. Sam is set up as an outsider from the start even once he’s clasped to the bosom of her family after years loving her, first as best friends then from afar, he seems like he’s on the edge. Still, finally I was won over by Sam, his obsession with the three dots when someone starts typing on their phone and then… stops resonating strongly with my own messaging insecurities. ![]() Eventually I decided Emma (Philippa Soo) could probably do with four years away from both of them on a desert island of her own. Then Jesse (Luke Bracey) came back from the dead in that horrible tracksuit. Yet watching the actual movie I found myself flip-flopping. I admit that after watching the trailer for this slight, slushy yet just-endearing-enough romcom, I was fully Team Sam (the fiancé of Emma) rather than Team Jesse (her husband who returns after four years, just in time to interrupt Emma and Sam’s wedding planning). Years after he “died” in a helicopter crash, Jesse returns to find his wife Emma about to marry her best friend Sam. ![]()
