The One I Love is a romantic comedy that is a bit complicated to explain. If you don’t want to give away the good parts of the movie, that is. So instead of giving away more of what the movie is about (because it is definitely better when it’s a surprise), I will say that I found this movie to have amazing actors who successfully kept a mind boggling story moving while keeping the viewer engaged and without giving anything away too soon. The One I Love also had an enjoyable soundtrack that matched the overall tone of the story.
The only problem I had with the movie was I felt part of the plot was not fully explained. While I was left impressed with the (slightly obvious) ending, there was one part of the main plot that I am still not sure I understand. Thankfully it’s a movie that I would gladly watch again to see if I can figure out what exactly was going on.
On a hunt for a story, three journalists, Darius (Aubrey Plaza), Jeff (Jake Johnson), and Arnau (Karan Soni), pursue a man who put a classified ad in the paper for a time traveling partner. When Jeff strikes out, Darius uses her own awkwardness to connect with the paranoid man behind the ad, Kenneth (Mark Duplass), and grows closer to him than she means to.
