weird little turn
29 December 2016
Peter Hoskins (Alec Baldwin) is conservative and Rita Boyle (Meg Ryan) is a free-spirit. She has insomnia. They fall in love and get married. An elderly man happens upon their wedding and kisses Rita after their vows. Their spirits switch places. Rita in the old man's body is confused and stumbles away. Meanwhile, Peter takes Rita to their Jamaican honeymoon.

This is an odd relationship and an odd rom-com. It's divided in two parts. The first part has an uncertain and strangely sweet romance. It's not an easy rom-com but Meg Ryan provides her traditional charms. Then the movie takes a weird fascinating turn. It's hard to really have fun with this. Essentially, Rita has been hijacked by an old man. It's a little uncomfortable and not as fun as the movie wants it to be. Meg Ryan has fun with the twist but I don't have as much fun with it. I actually like Peter spending time with the old guy. It gets a little touching and sweet. This is a weird rom-com.
