If you know Lili Reinhart at all, it’s from her turn as Betty on the hit teen show ‘Riverdale’, but based on her sparkling work in this largely silly and ultimately forgettable Netflix rom-com, she may have a bright and lasting career in front of her. Playing like a modern-day remake of 1998’s ‘Sliding Doors’, the film tells the parallel stories of a young woman graduating from college—in one timeline, the pregnancy test is negative, and in the other it’s positive. It’s a decent enough premise, but the script and direction are both pathologically pedestrian. Reinhart, however, absolutely keeps things afloat solely by her presence and performance.
3/5 stars
