Ex-lovers reunite when they both become stranded in an airport overnight. They find themselves drawn together to revisit their past to discuss what could have been and what may happen in the future.

Back in the 80’s and 90’s, Romantic Comedies (also known as Rom Coms) were all the rage.  I was, and still am, a huge Rom Com fan.  The Queen of the Rom Coms was Meg Ryan.  Meg starred in such classics ase When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail.  Imagine my delight when I heard that Meg was returning to the Rom Com world with her new release What Happens Later.

What Happens Later, which Meg also directed, tells the story of Willa (played by Meg) and Bill (played by David Duchovny). The former couple gets stranded in an airport during a snowstorm.  During their time there they rehash their relationship and come to terms with what happened and what might have become of their relationship.

I found this movie very charming.  It gave me vibes of Nora Ephron movies.  (Meg dedicated the movie to her.)  I will warn you that there is a lot of talking between the two main characters so if you don’t like that sort of thing, you probably won’t like this movie.  But if you are a Rom Com fan, this is the movie for you.
