Quartile rating: 7/10 · 1 rating
Longtime single friends, Ben and Alice, agree to be each other's respective plus one at every wedding they're invited to, during a busy summer of wedding fever.
Plus One is a charming but fairly conventional romantic comedy that hits familiar beats of the friends-to-lovers genre. The plot is well-executed with some genuine wit and sharp dialogue, but follows a predictable trajectory. The leads have solid chemistry and deliver above-average performances for the genre. Cinematography is functional and unremarkable, typical of indie rom-coms with no distinctive visual identity. Novelty is limited as the premise is well-trodden territory, though the wedding-hopping structure adds mild freshness. The ending is satisfying and emotionally earned without surprises.
