WOW. What a pleasant surprise! For so many reasons. STILL thinking about how real and refreshingly non-Hollywood this was. Where can we get more like this! When they were seated on the plane together near the beginning, I started to be drawn in because all of a sudden it felt like I was watching a play. I thought, how nice, I bet they love this opportunity as actors to have this much dialogue holding our attention. And it moved forward so well, I was fully engrossed, never left my seat. I appreciated seeing these two actors over 45 years of age, because I hadn't seen them in anything since they were younger. Great to see the years of life experience reflected in their character portrayals of real thinking intelligent single adults over 45 in today's world. Spot on too. It was HUMOROUS because it was so REAL! Written from the perspective of a thinking, modern, honest, evolving human consciousness that questions what it's all about, and didn't need to resort to lazy old fashioned stereotypes. Bravo. I laughed out loud many times, and noticed that Winona Ryder's character didn't laugh except once ever so slightly to just one of the many Keanu Reeves's character's direct summations on life, and who he was, and who he thought she was. They were past the age of taking a stranger's criticism personally. They listened to each other and responded thoughtfully from a place of depth throughout the entire movie. They portrayed two people who were very individualized and knew that they were secure and comfortable with who they were, flaws and all, and that they didn't need a partner, unlike so many predictable romcoms, full of people "searching". (Fun as they are, you make the best of what's offered, but we always wish that they would reflect what's a little more up to date, independent people coming together in inter-dependence not old fashioned co-dependence.) Lovely that the script was dialogue about who they were and what was happening between them without it coming from a place of emotionality and desperation. And they came to the realization that it may be worth while to pursue a relationship, but it wasn't with fairy tale illusions that it had to be the do all and end all of their existences, or have any particular outcome. They didn't need each other, but were open to being in the present moment and moving forward. It wasn't until the credits rolled that it dawned on me that no one else but these two characters spoke the entire time! I was a little stunned actually to not have picked up on that during viewing, and that's when it hit me that I had been fully engaged in these surprising characters and what they were going to SAY next. I searched the credits twice to see what book or play this was adapted from, and was surprised again to see that this 2 person film was a 2 person FILM. I hope I didn't spoil the surprise for anyone, but as much as I love the movies that are my favorites, I'm not interested in seeing most that are offered these days. Actually, I have never written a review, but this was a NEW movie experience. This had me searching to see how I could give it 5 stars and applaud it after viewing on Prime. Thank you! We get what we focus on right? Let's focus on a standing ovation for "Destination Wedding"! BRAVO.

Hopeful...
Well, if life is just a bowl of cherries, these two can definitely tell you about the pits! And they do. Gives me hope that there just may be someone for everyone, given the situation depicted by these two brilliant actors. However, as others have noted, this is not a movie for everyone. I enjoyed the droll, if a bit overplayed, dark irony of their inane conversations. And the message was clear that, like it or not, sometimes life triumphs over the darkness no matter how hard one tries to cling to and hide within it!
