Heughan has already earned heartthrob status for many with his most notable role as Jamie Fraser in the hit TV series Outlander. Some of his other roles have been in the 2022 TV series Suspect and movies Bloodshot and A Prince for Christmas.

What if a random text message led to the love of your life? In this romantic comedy, dealing with the loss of her fiancé, Mira Ray sends a series of romantic texts to his old cell phone number…not realizing the number was reassigned to Rob Burns’ new work phone. A journalist, Rob is captivated by the honesty in the beautifully confessional texts. When he’s assigned to write a profile of megastar Celine Dion (playing herself in her first film role), he enlists her help in figuring out how to meet Mira in person…and win her heart. The first time Celine Dion shows up as herself in the mostly predictable romcom Love Again, she’s handing down icy answers to a room full of reporters asking inane questions about her upcoming concert tour. But our leading man, Rob ( Sam Heughan), music critic for the fictional New York Chronicle, is distracted by some unusual messages he’s been receiving from a mystery texter. Dion chides him for having his phone on and inquires as to whether he’s going to ask her something. Rob fumbles, then pressures the singer to explain some of her esoteric lyrics about love. a b Wiseman, Andreas (November 19, 2020).

In lieu of writing the profile on Céline, Rob instead writes how she and her music inspired him to pursue love, which he found with Mira. He swears that she has transformed him and begs she give him a second chance, proposing they meet where he first began to hear the music again. Rob's boss publicly chews him out for going against his assignment, but quietly praises him, promising him a podcast. Going to the interview with Céline, she detects Rob's cynicism toward love. She asks him probing questions until he opens up. Rob is encouraged to follow his heart by Céline, then runs out of time to conduct the interview, but she encourages him to try again once he's worked through his issues.

Priyanka Chopra shines bright in a performance that feels so natural. She has played the girl-next-door kind of romcoms in so many films in Bollywood that ‘Love Again’ felt like just so easy for her. The way she handled the nuances, and the emotional bits made you realise how seasoned of an actress she is. There were scenes where there were long takes with just her face on the screen and nothing else moving, and she managed to tell so much with just her expressions. Wiseman, Andreas (April 29, 2019).

Called in to work, Rob is assigned to write a piece on Céline Dion and warned if he again doesn't write about her with heart he might be out of a job. Which is tough when the majority of the movie, written and directed by Jim Strouse (The Incredible Jessica James), is about two thinly sketched characters in a very strange situation, albeit one ripe for tear-jerking. We meet Chopra Jonas’s Mira in a New York coffee shop, deeply in love with her boyfriend John (Arinzé Kene) and working on her next children’s book illustration. But then she witnesses his death at the hands of a drunk driver through the window. (Strouse keeps the camera on Chopra Jonas’s face, but it’s still too much, and not in the extra Céline way.)

Strouse’s writing is pretty much the weakest link in ‘Love Again’. The premise is predictable, and the entire plot can be figured out right from the trailer itself. There isn’t any amount of ambiguity or suspense left for the viewer to find out during the climax. It happens with almost all romcoms, but still, there are few that manage to give the viewer something unique to help them remember the film. Sadly, there wasn’t anything like that in ‘Love Again’s writing which will make it memorable for ages. You might just binge it for a bit of feel-good factor a few times whenever you’re feeling low. Mira Ray and her boyfriend John are very much in love, and often communicate via flirtatious messages. Directly after they have a loving interaction in a café, he goes outside and is promptly hit by a car before Mira's eyes. Grobar, Matt (April 12, 2023).

Strouse’s direction, however, tries to lift up the film to quite an extent. The way he has shot the film gives you that gooey mushy feeling. It makes you want to grab a hot cup of coffee, snuggle into your warmers, share the couch with your partner and binge the film. Getting that feel-good factor is quite imperative in such romcoms, and he has got it pretty well. Especially with that entire climax being shot in a snowfall setting, it just made you want to fall in love all over again.
