‘Which Brings Me to You’ Review: A Rom-Com Worth Your Time

Enter ‘Which Brings Me to You,’ a charming tale of will-they-won’t-they starring Lucy Hale and Nat Wolff as two endearing wedding guests caught in a whirlwind of romance. While there may not be a literal prince involved, the leading man is certainly closer to a dashing knight in shining armour than a frog on a lily pad. In the world of romcoms, that’s practically a glowing recommendation.

What sets ‘Which Brings Me to You’ apart is its refreshingly relatable characters. Hale and Wolff bring a delightful humanity to their roles, making them instantly appealing to audiences. Unlike the typical romcom formula of starting with mutual disdain and ending in love, these characters have a brief fling before facing the real challenge of whether they can make it work long-term.

The hurdles they face are refreshingly realistic, grounded in the complexities of modern relationships rather than contrived plot devices. There’s no evil corporation threatening to ruin a quaint bakery here; instead, we get genuine obstacles that hinder genuine connection.

However, the film’s commitment to unpacking every emotional nuance does start to feel a tad drawn out towards the end. Perhaps a bit of trimming in the script department would have kept the pace brisk and the tone light. There’s a noticeable shift from the breezy, upbeat beginning to a more introspective tone as the story progresses.

Yet, this tension between light-hearted romance and deeper introspection adds an intriguing layer to ‘Which Brings Me to You.’ It may not be a perfect fairy-tale ending, but it’s far from a bore.
