Appearances
In the drama, Robert Pattinson and Zendaya play Charlie and Emma, a Boston couple whose wedding day is fast approaching.
The writer-director Christopher Borgli cleverly recaps their romance as a series of happy memories, some of which they plan to share with their friends and family members at the upcoming reception.
One such memory is the first time they met, in a bustling café.
It involved a misunderstanding, plus a white lie, and a bit of stalkerish behavior from Charlie.
It wasn't too funny at the time...
but two years later they can laugh about it.
Humor plays an important role in their relationship.
In this scene, Charlie, who works as a curator for a Cambridge art museum, is complaining about a potentially problematic retrospective
when Emma breaks the tension, as she often does, by pulling down his pants.
I did.
I said, if everyone knows he's a piece of s***, then why are we doing a retrospective in the first place?
I love how you always find a way to turn my drama into a comedy.
Most of the drama, though, concerns the kind of revelation that can't be so easily laughed off.
One night, while Charlie and Emma are hanging out with their married friends, Rachel and Mike, they all wind up playing a boozy game of what's the worst thing you've ever done?
Emma's answer is a doozy, and it's the big twist on which the drama hinges –
I won't give it away, but let's just say that it involves not something terrible that she did, but something terrible that she almost did, but decided against at the last minute.
Emma's disclosure stops the merriment dead and throws her friends and her fiancé for a loop.
Rachel responds with particular outrage.
She's played by Alana Heim in a much more ferocious performance than her star-making turn in Licorice Pizza.
And Pattinson is very good as Charlie, a loving groom-to-be who's suddenly engulfed by anxiety.
