Longtime couple Lori and Doug break up just days before Lori's little sister Bea's wedding to Jayson. In order to not disrupt the fun, they decide to pretend they're still together until the weekend is over.


This is The second movie I have watched with William Jackson Harper about an African-American breaking up with a white woman, but also played by a good underrated actress here played by Aya Cash. both of them can pull off this material in their sleep.


We’ve seen this type of story and film before a comedy-drama with romance where a couple is forced to attend a wedding and act like nothing happened to say face in front of family and friends and for the special occasion 


Like most relationships, the same in many ways, but are significantly special in the details, locations, and structures of their own


Going through the break up with one another, and so close to the time was all already sudden we are watching them deal with the ramifications and emotions while being forced to be around one another


The film is artistically, directed, and pasted while going for comedy or humor, but not too outlandish at times


It’s a joy to either of the actors and anything as they have shown their versatility and can be quite charming.


As it’s actually more enjoyable than expected, and it gets deeper as it goes along and offers a mature look at relationship relationships they will admit it is filled with sitcom situations and humor at times.


It’s a satisfying watch that will ring true for some viewers as it is the cast that pulls it across the finish line and makes it somewhat memorable.


Grade:C+
