SomethingFromTiffanys Review: Holiday Rom-Com Lacks Chemistry & A Good Script
Zoey Deutch has had quite a year with the diverse roles she’s played. In March, she was an FBI informant in Graham Moore’s The Outfit. Her next role in Not Okay saw her as Danni Sanders, an aspiring writer with a lust for stretching the truth. Deutch’s latest sees her return to the romantic comedy genre, in which she receives an engagement ring meant for someone else. Based on the novel of the same name by Melissa Hill, Something from Tiffany’s combines misfortune and fate in peculiar ways.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The story follows two couples as they navigate their growing relationships in New York City around the holidays. Rachel and Gary have been together for three years. While they are not quite ready to take that next big step, they are happy enough to continue to grow together. Ethan and Vanessa , on the other hand, are picture-perfect and ready for marriage. Together with his daughter Daisy , Ethan picks out the best ring.
One of the main reasons the film feels incredibly lackluster is due to the relationships and how they’re portrayed. Audiences are expected to understand that these couples are on the verge of taking the next steps in their relationships. Yet, there’s rarely any time dedicated for viewers to get to know the couples and how they’ve come to these stages.
If there’s one saving grace for Something from Tiffany’s, it is, without a doubt, Zoey Deutch. She has incredible energy, and she understands the value of likability when portraying her character. Unfortunately, it feels as if she’s in the film alone with respect to watchability. Her chemistry with Sampson seems forced, and it almost feels more appropriate cheering on her independence from these boring and unworthy men.
Ultimately, Something from Tiffany’s is yet another holiday romantic comedy that doesn’t take any risks beyond its genre’s tropes. With few details on the couples and the intricacies of their relationships, viewers may find the film a chore to get through. Additionally, the predictability settles in as early as the opening sequence, deeming it somewhat pointless to continue watching.
