Love Again is like a PG-13 Hallmark Channel movie – and is about as far-fetched as a rom-com gets.

Through cynical eyes (just scroll down Rotten Tomatoes), the Love Again movie is about a creepy guy taking advantage of a grieving woman using many rom-com tropes.

THE ROMANCE

The romance on the surface of the story sounds weird. A guy reads personal texts without revealing he’s receiving them and then sets out to find this woman in person. It could be seen as a bit stalker-like. Photo Credit: Screen Gems/Sony Pictures Releasing Learn more
