Rosie Dunne (Lily Collins) and Alex Stewart (Sam Claflin) have been friends since 5 years old. Her life is changing at 30. In flashback starting with her 18th birthday, their relationship is shown as they go on their separate journeys. He loses his virginity to Bethany Williams (Suki Waterhouse) which drives Rosie to self-obsessed Greg (Christian Cooke). Alex goes off to Harvard and finds new girlfriend Sally (Tamsin Egerton). Rosie gets unexpected pregnant from her one awkward night with Greg which derails her plans to study in Boston near Alex.

Lily Collins is lovely. Sam Claflin has his boyish charms. This romance could be better. Despite the beautiful pairing, it never really pulls it off completely. It has a fun start. The condom bit is hilarious. There is a way for this relationship to go to develop a great epic romance. It takes odd turns which really throws it off. By the second half, I don't want them to get together. Quite frankly, none of the men are good enough for her. This should really be Rosie's story. Lily Collins is good enough to pull that off.

There is a lot to like in Love, Rosie including appealing leads who are wonderfully photographed but this is a sub par Four Weddings and a Funeral.

Rosie Dunne (Lily Collins) and Alex Stewart (Sam Claflin) have been childhood friends who are meant to be with each other. However Rosie gets pregnant after a one night stand, Alex goes off to Boston to study at Harvard and she does not want to stand in his way. Eventually Alex gets engaged over there and Rosie marries the father to her child.

Throughout the film you just want the two main characters to properly talk to each other to clear up any misunderstandings. Instead the film dreams up further silly contrivances to keep Rosie and Alex from hooking up to each other. So they repeatedly have a dalliance with people who are second best.

This is an energetic rom-com, amiable enough to watch but it never rises above average.

To say this is predictable would be an understatement, but same thing goes for many action movies as far as predictability goes. Actually the fact that two people belong together is so painfully obvious you do wonder how they came up to fill over 100 minutes in here. Looks like a lot of things go wrong ... who'd have thought? Putting a scene from "now" at the beginning just to backtrack was a neat idea though.

Still some things happen, that might not be as expected. But such is life and the overall impression still says the same. The main actors/characters do their best to keep the tension high and the story going. Even when the script has them do things, they shouldn't be doing. An overall good romantic comedy, fun to watch as a couple
