 Maybe I Do (2023) Movie | M-Cinema24

Michelle and Allen are in a relationship. They decide to invite their parents to finally meet about marriage. Turns out, the parents already know one another well, which leads to some differing opinions about marriage.

Definitely not the comedy it wants to be or is portrayed as in the trailer. Awful storyline. Depressing speeches. Forced acting. Awkward interactions for the cast. Painful experience for the audience. Really had high expectations.

Seriously, don't even waste your time, even when it pops up as free on your favorite streaming platform, which I expect to see in a week or so.

The only partially entertaining scene is about 10 minutes in, and it falls flat.

Susan Sarandon looked amazing, so kudos to the costume designer for her wardrobe and style; but it looked like Diane Keaton raided her much larger and frumpier alter ego's closet.

It starts out with several minutes of credits - and I'm not talking about names on top of scenic landscapes in the background, literally just white text on a black screen. But, at least the original song "Always You" was playing, which I liked. It was very obvious that the story was originally a play and was not adapted much for a screenplay of a movie. There was a lot of dialogue...I mean A LOT. And sometimes it seemed like they were talking in circles or in a translated language because I didn't even understand what they were talking about. It also felt like it didn't have enough characters and lacked a variety of scenery and settings. With such a great cast list and well-known writer/director (for TV anyways), I had higher hopes but there was much room for improvement in terms of making it into a romcom movie.
