I don't see enough movies to have the credibility to deem any particular film the worst one of the year. But scene for scene, this 2023 release sucked. I think it was a romcom, but the premise was based on a convenient tragedy followed by unfunny scenes and manufactured moments of supposed romance. It reminded me of a 2007 Hilary Swank romcom, "P. S. I Love You", which had a similar premise and was almost as abysmal except for a solid supporting cast that included Lisa Kudrow and Kathy Bates. This one has no such expert casting, just Celine Dion snippily playing herself (prior to her disclosure of ongoing medical problems), and she appears to be playing fairy godmother to the emotionally inert Sam Heughan character. In what appears to be a deliberate career move to broaden her audience, the usually appealing Priyanka Chopra-Jones is more talented than this contrived role requires. She should fire her agent.
