Meet Cute in Manhattan
Jason is a struggling actor needing a partner for a dating app commercial audition. Nora is an aspiring architect/barista. They accidentally bump into each other at a coffee shop & he spills his coffee all over his jersey. He invites her to be his audition partner. They both already have their own girlfriend & boyfriend. The audition is meant for actual partners, so they improvise & fake it. Their commercial becomes a big hit & leads to more “Meet Cute” commercial ads. Of course, this being a rom/com, they develop a real friendship & deep feelings for each other although neither can admit it to each other. This film actually becomes a movie within a movie commenting on rom/coms & featuring other rom/com movie moments. If you are addicted to romantic comedies, you’ll enjoy this one about chance meetings, crossed paths, & destiny. It has humor, heart, & chemistry.
Alien gives it 3 “seeing from a new perspective in Grand Central” stars out of 4.
