Stuck with You review: Not all strangers are dangerous
Stuck with You starts with Gael, a man talking on his cell phone and walking on the streets of Paris with a dinosaur costume on. Gael is already late for a New Year's Eve party, and the people around him aren't making things any easier.
He rides an elevator with a grumpy woman named Hannah, who is on her way to breaking up with her long-term boyfriend. When Hannah sees Gael dressed as a dinosaur, she becomes incredibly hostile towards him. The story takes a monumental shift when the elevator they are in malfunctions and they are stuck there together with no chance of getting out until the next day.
Stuck with You is a light-hearted romantic comedy that can be enjoyed by hopeless romantics. This wholesome story of friendship and love runs for just 59 minutes but hits the spot and does a brilliant job of conveying to its viewers that the greatest friendships/romances begin with unusual circumstances.
Despite the events of the entire movie taking place in an elevator, Gael and Hannah are frequently transferred to various settings in the form of flashbacks. When they share a personal anecdote, the elevator magically opens and shuttles them to the setting of the story.
Actors Kev Adams and Camille Lellouche deliver brilliant and convincing performances with various others in supporting roles. The film also has iconic cinematic shots and a subtle background score to help set the mood.
The film has almost zero dull moments with Gael and Hannah constantly conversing hilariously. The dialogues are gripping and manage to keep the audience engaged through the 59 minutes of the runtime.
If you are a fan of wholesome cheerful rom-coms, this one is certainly unmissable.
