Something New

About This Movie

Something New (2017) brings a light-hearted yet relatable vibe to the rom-com genre. The film captures the awkwardness of modern dating, throwing Scott into a series of misadventures that are both cringeworthy and endearing. Pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the charm, making Scott's journey feel authentic. The performances, especially during the comedic moments, land well, with a natural chemistry that makes you root for Scott despite his mishaps. Themes of heartbreak and moving on are woven in, creating a layered emotional backdrop. It’s not flashy, but there’s something genuine about how it portrays the struggles of getting over an ex, which is a refreshing take in a sea of formulaic romances.

Great for a casual movie night.Good representation of LGBTQ+ dating.Interesting take on the healing process post-breakup.
