Since the moment they met at age 5, Rosie and Alex have been best friends, facing the highs and lows of growing up side by side. A fleeting shared moment, one missed opportunity, and the decisions that follow send their lives in completely different directions. As each navigates the complexities of life, love, and everything in between, they always find their way back to each other - but is it just friendship, or something more?
Critics largely dismissed Love, Rosie as a formulaic romantic comedy that squanders the chemistry of its leads. Lily Collins and Sam Claflin were frequently acknowledged as likable presences, but reviewers found the film's plotting too contrived and its character work too thin to make the central relationship feel earned. The sizable gap between critical consensus and audience warmth is the real story here.
“entire film is weighed down by such sloppy storytelling and by equally disordered characterisation”
