Meg Ryan starred in some of the biggest RomComs, including When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, City of Angels, and so many more. Therefore, you can say she is the Queen of Romantic Comedies.
However, she hasn’t been in one since the beginning of the century. But after over 20 years, she signed on to do a new one with David Duchovny as her old and new love interest.
In What Happens Later, two ex-lovers, Bill (David Duchovny) and Willa (Meg Ryan) get snowed in at a regional airport overnight. Indefinitely delayed, Willa, a magical thinker, and Bill, a catastrophic one, find themselves just as attracted to and annoyed by one another as they did decades earlier. But as they unpack the riddle of their mutual past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they begin to wonder if their reunion is mere coincidence, or something more enchanted.
And I am enchanted by them working together. Seriously, who else is excited to see them return to RomComs? They are both so good in this genre that it’s nice to see them finally working together.
Duchovny directs the film that comes out on Friday, the 13th of October.
