It Was Always You (2021 TV Movie)
1/10
The ridiculous screenplay screamed 'abort' this nonsense
10 May 2021
There have been many films with this very same premise. Mismatched couple usually involving a workaholic fiancé and suddenly the wife-to-be meets the person who was meant to be her soul mate. Some films do a fine job but you need minimal ingredients i.e. Decent screenplay and actors with chemistry. Enter Eren playing Liz and her fiances globe trotting and borderline insane brother David.

Why borderline insane? Erin and George's mother and family are deep asleep at 2am when she (and presumably all others) is jolted out of bed by ear piercingly loud, blaring hard rock music. She rushes downstairs.... David it's 2am...you'll wake your mother and your entire family! Now the screenplay goes off the rails creating a selfish, self centered, unfeeling and insanely inconsiderate David who could not care less. I'm still on Tibetan he replies. Obviously, the screen writers created a David monster who will not, at his age, be changing his personality disorder.

At this point a little voice spoke to me: 'abort, abort, abort.' I do hope the film went on to have the mother take a large wooden paddle to David, her utterly uncaring and disrespectful son.
