Destination Wedding (2018)

Two strangers (Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder) meet at the airport and take an instant dislike to each other. They find out they're on the same flight and both are attending the same wedding. He's the half brother of the groom and she's the groom's ex-girlfriend. Written and directed by Victor Levin. I was a bit surprised that this was an original screenplay because it feels like it's based on a play. Ryder and Reeves are the only two characters in the movie (some other characters are peripheral but they have no lines) and for 90 minutes argue and discuss with a brief interval for sex. Ryder and Reeves are likable, attractive and talented which helps but it's not enough when the romcom screenplay gives us pedestrian dialogue rather than scintillating conversation. It doesn't help that Levin's direction consists of making sure the camera is in the right place and that's about it. If you're not a fan of the two lead actors, there's a good chance you won't make it to the end of the film.
