Two depressed exes randomly meet in Nashville after not seeing each other since their breakup, many years before. They knew a small amount from FaceBook but their weekend was about catching up, enjoying living in the moment, and making the right choices and moving forward.
Clearly the writer had an ex in mind for the stunning Kristen Gutoskie. She's complicated, moody, unpredictable, and searching aimlessly for love and life. We've all known this girl- the one who's natural beauty and personality attracts everyone, but she keeps people at arms length, even those she loves. They are frustrating and loving at the same time, and will wreck your life. But you still love her for many reasons. KG plays this character perfectly and even though the main arc is about Brennan, you can't help but feel for them both.
But I root for them, not to end up together per se, but to at least be in each other's lives more. Sometimes that's all we get, both in life and in the movies. There's always hope though. What I liked about these two is that they needed each other for an evolution, not as a couple but as individuals. And it works. Nashville is a good backdrop for this type of film because it's easy to have adventures there, and the fact that both mains have a music background is irrelevant. These two love each other very much, but in different ways- and that may frustrate an unsophisticated viewer. Still, you should screen this film. It def deserves higher than its average rating.
