ChuckFlixs: Always Be My Maybe · Screenfellas Entertainment

Welcome back to ChuckFlixs. This week I will be reviewing Netflixâ€™s newest rom com Always Be My Maybe. I have to say I enjoyed the movie. This is definitely one of the better rom coms that they have made. Some people are saying that this is better than Crazy Rich Asians but thatâ€™s a lie. Do not listen to those people.

The film is about two childhood friends who both clearly like each other. However, neither one of the admits it. But once things start to progress and thereâ€™s a traumatic event, they have a falling out. After this falling out they donâ€™t speak for 15 years until they reconnect as adults. Old sparks start to reignite but they live in completely different worlds. Can they learn to love and live in each otherâ€™s new world? Only time will tell.

Positives
The biggest positive in this movie is KEANU REEVES! He plays himself in the movie but he dials it up to an 11. I was laughing basically the whole time that he was on screen. He was easily the best part of the movie for me.

The main characters are played by Ali Wong and Randall Park. Ali plays a famous chef named Sasha Tran. Randall plays a stoner air conditioning repair man named Marcus who has a band. Randall Park actually did a decent job when he was asked to sing. James Saito plays Marcusâ€™s dad and I liked his comedic spots.

Middle of the road
The majority of the supporting characters were good but not great. None of them were bad so thatâ€™s a good thing. They were just used to help push the main characters together. I understand thatâ€™s what happens in this genre. Overall they were just decent secondary characters.

The comedy was decent but not every thing made me laugh. But its comedy made me laugh more than some other rom coms

Negatives
The pacing was off at times during the movie. At first it was slow then picked up at a rapid pace. Once they were going to fast they created tension just to slow it down again.

I really didnâ€™t buy into the main characters relationship. I felt like they were great friends who used to have a crush on each other. But that was about it because they really didnâ€™t date when they were kids. One of the things that Marcus got upset over that Sasha said was stupid and petty. Of course that caused a big fight that wasnâ€™t necessary.

My biggest negative is the lack of Keanu Reeves. He wasnâ€™t in the movie for long which was sad. I wished he could of had a more prominent role.

Overall itâ€™s a good movie that you can just have a fun time watching on a date night.

Rating: 7/10
