Love Again takes that simplicity to the extreme. Two pretty people, the hunk from Outlander (Sam Heughan) as music writer Rob Burns and Indian star (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) as Children’s book creator Mira Ray inhabit a world so far removed from reality, it could almost be a ride in the mouse house.

That they end up together is never in doubt. The storyline as it is revolves around Mira losing her much-loved partner to a drunk driver and keeping his memory alive by sending texts to her ex-lover’s phone which just happens to be the number of Rob’s new work phone. There is also a plotline where Rob receives romantic advice from Céline Dion.

As crazy as that sounds, it makes almost perfect sense in the facile world this film is set in, You can’t begrudge the filmmaker’s attempt to provide this kind of pure escapism. For fans of Outlander, this people-pleaser will keep hearts racing and for those with a preference for Canadian chanteuses who sing too many high notes, there is a lot to enjoy as well.

The soundtrack features the first new music from Celine since her 2019 album Courage, along with six of Celine’s past hits, as well as three of the film’s score selections.

“I had a lot of fun doing this movie. And to have the privilege of appearing with the beautiful and talented actors Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan in my very first feature film is a gift that I will cherish forever. I think it’s a wonderful feel-good story, and I hope that people will like it, and like the new songs too.” – Celine Dion

Starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Sam Heughan and Celine Dion (in her first film role), Love Again features eleven songs from Celine that are woven into the narrative of the film and its characters. In a recent interview with People Magazine Sam Heughan shared that “Celine’s music, in a way, brings my character and Priyanka’s character together,” with Priyanka Chopra Jonas adding that Love Again is “our ode to Celine.”

Love Again, written for the screen and directed by Jim Strouse, opens in Australian cinemas May 11.

In this romantic comedy, dealing with the loss of her fiancé, Mira Ray sends a series of romantic texts to his old cell phone number…not realizing the number was reassigned to Rob Burns’ new work phone.

A journalist, Rob is captivated by the honesty in the beautifully confessional texts. When he’s assigned to write a profile of megastar Celine Dion (playing herself in her first film role), he enlists her help in figuring out how to meet Mira in person…and win her heart.

Starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Sam Heughan and Celine Dion, Love Again will be released in Australian cinemas May 11!

Casting Vin Diesel in the lead role pretty much sums up the approach to the dialogue and having Wilson, with his long history with visual effects on both film and video games gives a clear indication of the intent with visuals. The science of the film is so dodgy, it need not be mentioned again.

The story as it is, is very minimal and revolves around Diesel’s Ray Garrison / Bloodshot character being a recycled killer. His programming is supplied by Dr. Emil Harting (Guy Pearce) who gets to ham it up big time. Comic relief and the approval to mac out on junk food is provided by Lamorne Morris as Wilfred Wigans.

In these times of overwhelming reality, escapism is needed now more than ever and the disconnect required by this work on the rocky road to enjoyment is all encompassing. Load up with snacks, create and enter your own comfort zone and engage on a level of mindless enjoyment second to none. Just don’t forget to wash your hands afterwards.

Inhabiting the bumbling role that morphs into the super spy, both Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon do the role justice. They have good chemistry together and Kunis’s straight role balances out nicely with McKinnon’s hyper crazy. The men this time are only there as eye candy and Sam Heughan (hot Jamie from Outlander) plays the role well and doesn’t even have to show his butt.

The story that drives the film is thin but as a platform for the girls to do their comic thing, it’s sufficient. While the violence is over the top and the plot lines have holes big enough to drive a truck through, this does little to dampen the fun.

As a spy yarn, The Spy Who Dumped Me in almost completely nonsensical, as a comedy, it often times strikes the target with suitable impact. That the ladies are the driving force in the film only makes it that much more interesting.
