‘Plus One’
Plus One is the perfect example of a rom-com done right. Starring the charismatic duo of Maya Erskine and Jack Quaid, the film — which follows two longtime pals (Alice and Ben) trying to survive the onslaught of wedding season by agreeing to be each other’s plus one to a seemingly endless parade of ceremonies — is a piquant blend of bravado and sentimentality. It deftly captures both the isolating feeling of being the only single person amidst a sea of couples and the comforting joy of finally finding the one person who truly gets you. It’s genuine and cool without being pretentious about it, but at the same time, it’ll make you nostalgic for the one who got away.
