Perhaps the Brits wanted to show they could make romantic comedies every bit as drippy and unrealistic as the Americans. Alex and Rosie (Sam Claflin and Lily Collins, showing an astounding lack of chemistry) have grown up together and are best friends. Though it’s obvious to even the dullest audience member that they’ll eventually end up together, it takes a dozen years (and one hour, 42 minutes of your life) for them to get around to it. I guess it takes time to get through all those clichés and predictable “twists.” Neither romantic nor funny. Japanese title: Ato 1cm no Koi. (102 min)
