Love Me Love Me
The brief
Roger Kumble delivers a predictably glossy teen romance that feels like it was assembled from a YA checklist: grief-stricken girl, squeaky-clean love interest, and the obligatory bad boy with underground fight secrets. Mia Jenkins brings genuine vulnerability to June, but the script saddles her with dialogue that swings wildly between overwrought melodrama and Netflix-original blandness. The Milan setting looks expensive but never feels lived-in, and the love triangle unfolds with all the surprise of a morning alarm. If you're craving something in the After or Kissing Booth universe but with slightly better production values, this might scratch that itch.
The verdict
If you're a devoted fan of glossy YA romance who doesn't mind predictable love triangles and can overlook clunky dialogue for pretty Milan backdrops, this delivers exactly what's on the tin. If you're seeking anything remotely surprising or authentic in your romantic drama, the 4.2 IMDb rating tells you everything you need to know about this by-the-numbers disappointment.
