Alien at the Movies

I️ Want You Back

Emma (Jenny Slate) & Peter (Charlie Day) discover that they each have been dumped by their partners over the same weekend. As they commiserate with each other & realize both of their partners (Scott Eastwood & Gina Rodriguez) have moved on to new relationships, they decide to sabotage these new couples so they can reunite with their former partners. This is a typical rom/com so it’s not hard to guess where things are headed. It’s not great but entertaining if you enjoy romantic comedies. It’s thirty-somethings trying to figure out love.

Alien gives it 2.“the slow burn” stars out of 4.
