This movie is a two-fer between Meg Ryan (who also directed) and David Duchovny, who play ex-lovers that reconnect while grounded during a flight layover. This isn't your traditional rom-com, but a more profound take on life and love through the experience of age. It reminded me of a lost chapter from Love Actually. Something about the magical realism of the situation (stuck all alone in an airport terminal) and the omniscient PA announcer gave me those 'good time' vibes. I also appreciate that it was R-rated, because it felt like a much more mature, realistic look at reconnecting when you're older than a typical romance. A bit like a late entry in Richard Linklater's Before series.
