You can say it's cheesy, unoriginal, or old-fashioned, but it works for me. As a millennial, I was so excited to see Witherspoon and Kutcher, icons of rom-coms in early 2000s, come back as grown up couple, so I admit I can be biased. Plus, best friends-to-lovers trope always works on me. It is refreshing to see romance movie that two main characters do not spend much time together physically, but audience can sense their friendship has been strong partly because they have been friends to us millennial for a long time as well. Alicia who has watched their twenty years as a friend is one of us. Chemistry is still there just with phone calls or conversations even without physical interaction. I just missed rom-com with early 2000s vibe.
