Love Wedding Repeat is a Groundhog Day type comedy starring Sam Claflin, Olivia Munn and Freida Pinto. When Jack, played by Sam Claflin, misses out on a chance at love with Dina, played by Olivia Munn, he is presented with one final opportunity, three years later, at his sister’s wedding. The story presents alternate versions, of the same scenario, unfolding as Jack tries to reconnect with his crush while also making sure his little sister has the perfect wedding day.
The plot was simple, predictable, easy to follow, a bit awkward at times but engaging none the less.
The character development did not go in depth but it was enough to be able to connect to some of the characters. The acting from the entire cast fine. No one in particular stood out, but everyone did their part well enough.
I liked the themes around love, happiness and taking a chance. Jack’s friend Bryan, played by Joel Fry, said it best, “[love] is pretty scary, but if we're honest with ourselves, then it all comes down to chance. And I guess life is about grabbing those chances when they come around.”
In the end, the movie had potential but didn't quite get there for me. It was okay, suited well for the Netflix, but not something I'd watch again.
