    This movie is full of good dialogue, budding chemistry & somehow a well done weaved integration of current pop culture delivered in a soft & unique (elder) slightly cheesy in the good way rom com pov

    I liked the seriousness with which the encounter between two people who loved one another a refreshing addition to the traditional rom- com formula. After all the intervening years and family/work demands, the spark that drew them together never went out. What makes it romantic, is that they can still feel their attraction and indulge it for awhile allowing them to reveal more of what caused them to forfeit their early relationship. What makes it comedic is the way the airport scenes goof on the soul-less atmosphere of airports.

    I really enjoyed this movie! So much to think about. Very thoughtful and contemplative.

    This was disappointing, especially given the cast and direction. The plot is bland, and doesn’t know whether it wants to follow an approach similar to that of The Terminal (2004) or the Before Sunrise series, or both together… It isn’t this horrible movie, but it isn’t memorable either, and it gets more and more tedious as it progresses.

    Painfully embarrassingly awful. It's like being forced to sit next to two mid-60's elderly people in an airport, listening to their tedious, whining, pointless conversation, with no chance of escape. And they make a movie about this. It's bad.

    Enough interest to stick it out. Polished acting as you would expect from the pair. Some lighter moments but otherwise it is fairly serious. Silly airport announcements that are initially amusing but become a distraction in the end.

    I thought this was delightful...real conversations with a past love with whom you share a deep connection, history and grief with. I loved the bickering, laughter and sillyness. And loved the setting!

    A strange rom com enjoyable if not a tad odd, if you ever find yourself at a loss to watch and come across it there are worst ways to spend your time

    Any poor ratings of this movie were surely made by the young. If by a slim chance you are over 45 -50 and still couldn’t see the beautiful irony, I feel immensely sorry for you. You should make a date to watch it again in 10 years….review again

    I love silly romantic comedies, particularly Meg Ryan romantic comedies... but so sorry to say, this one stinks to high heaven, because it's not a romantic comedy at all. The conversations between these two people are all about two former lovers being forced to hang out together in an airport during a story. They rehash their old fights, and feel the old spark, but end up parting as friends. It could have been a beautifully bitter sweet story that we could all connect with. But instead, the script shoehorns in a bunch of romantic comedy tropes, cutesy poo lyrical interludes with obnoxiously cutesy poo music, and a 'magical announcer' who seems to be some kind of voice of god who can sense their inner thoughts. Those elements are so silly, unbelievable and tooth-rottingly sweet, and are at such odds with the realistic relationship of these two people, that they undermine all dramatic potential. The announcer voice was so jarringly unrealistic and magical, that I kept thinking that it would be revealed that they are actually dead, and this 'airport' is really in the afterlife, and god, the announcer, is giving them a chance to reconnect before moving on. But alas, that's not what's happening at all. The godlike voice is never explained, so it just seems like a cynical attempt to touch our hearts. But another reason this doesn't work is that David Duchovny is in it, and his cynical, sarcastic personality just made me feel like the whole movie is just two actors getting together to make a few bucks from their recognizable faces, rather than two characters living their lives. That plane exhaust heart at the end was the worst. My review: Blech!.
