Fresh and Exciting

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Love this movie. Best Netflix original romance yet! Not a cliche romance about cancer. Has the F word and the beginning scene has the two main characters under the covers kissing fully clothed but other than hat no other scenes.

Irreplaceable You features an endearing story, fairly likable leads and tremendous supporting actors. So why doesn't it work? At all. First, it's painfully dull and flat. Nothing about the movie feels authentic or developed. Abbie (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is diagnosed with cancer and is not expected to live long. But she never actually looks sick. She keeps her luscious hair, aside from a single lost lock in a scene that is supposed to be emotionally devastating but is instead eyeroll worthy because it's not deserved. The scenes that are meant to evoke emotional responses never work because they simply happen. There's no build up to pull viewers in and engage them. The moments are slapped on like a bumper sticker and contain the same amount of depth. The result is a tear-jerker movie that causes no tears.The other main issue is with the premise. I'm not sure that any writer could make this one work. Abbie uses dating apps to find a new girl for her fiancé to be with after she dies. It's uncomfortable, unfunny and unbelievable. So, of course, it never builds any momentum and is eventually abandoned in the third act. But by then the movie is nearly over and the plotline most in focus is doomed to fail.The lone bright spots come from supporting performances of Kate McKinnon (SNL), Timothy Simons (Veep) and Christopher Walken (pick a movie). Steve Coogan is also around but is underused. Just another example of the filmmakers focusing on the wrong aspects of the story. With some better choices of plot and character use, this movie might have been halfway decent.But the choices were the wrong ones, and consequently, this movie is a very poor one.

I am not sure. Maybe the problem in a shell is that the movie needed to be longer so it would have more depth. I wanted to laugh and cry. I smiled sometimes. Didn't touch me enough to cry. There are some spectacular lines, with depth. But in a story with so many characters and so many... Too much happening, ruined the depth I am sure was intended. I didn't even get to connect much with the characters. I really wanted to love this movie. But didn't. Michiel Huisman, so handsome and cute. That voice... But again, they don't get deep into his character so not even him could save the movie.

This movie is so bad. It´s not romantic, it´s cheesy. Dissapointing.
