Review of When We First Met (2018) by Sparky M — 18 May 2018

I. Freaking. love this movie. (3/?/18) Re-watched with the Land girls and it was even more fabulous the second and second and a half time around. Easter egg: In the last time travel when he's doing basic exact same as original his cereal is full when the camera is facing him, then when the camera angle grabs a second from his back the bowl is empty again. LOVE this movie. LOVE the music, love the actors. It begs me to dig further into my own past questioning of is there a meant to be person out there for everyone? Some people? Anyone? I think I believe that there are excellent fits platonically and romantically. Sometimes you just click with someone easily. And just because you fit does not mean you have to. I believe God has plans for us and that it's possible that they are that detailed and it may not be so exactly detailed for everyone??? Abraham meant for Sarah?I believe that we have free will and life and options are fragile. Maybe he had a plan for one person for you but you ruined it maybe even with something simple. Who knows. Maybe it is purely some people are good fits. And with potential good fits that shift as both parties live on and change, your possible merging paths could also shift away. Who knows. "No, it's not the story of your life, because you're not a time traveler Chad!" "Relationships are about intangible things." "About moments, the real moments, and who you spend them with." "No....I AM Jazz." Adam Devine looks more familiar than just Pitch Perfect and Ice Age. Possibly because he reminds me overwhelmingly of my old friend Noah. Ironic the character name. I love this movie for so so many reasons. But it definitely hit me at a susceptible time. I had still recently lost Alan and was hashing out in my mind repeatedly if there is a meant to be. And if there was? What does it change or mean? What then? What if you had a meant to be person and they left? Do you wait on them? Chase them and smack sense into them? Move on because they don't want you and you're better than that? This chick flick hits that spot of what if. It soothes that "it will end alright somehow" It pours out with that unrequited love. "Ever keep spinning around in the same relationship, over and over, and it's just going nowhere?" "Noah Ashby: I thought things were suppose to happen for a reason.Max: That's what strippers and idiots say.".

"Everything does happen for a reason. Or maybe they don't. Or maybe Max was right. Or maybe I'm just a stripper." Love the colors and the camera angles, I realllly appreciate how the edited and spliced scenes together. (5/19/18) Parental guide: Some light cussing throughout. Drinking at party. Couple making out. Couple waking in bed together shows nothing but they briefly talk about sex. I think mom could be ok. (7/8/18) Watched it again in St. Louis with Brianna and Abigail).
