Uncut Gems

Written by stars Randall Park and Ali Wong, Always Be My Maybe is at once a pitch perfect rom-com and a spotless display of Park and Wong's immeasurable talents.

In the film, childhood friends Marcus and Sasha reconnect after years of estrangement and find that they have feelings for one another. However, between Sasha's newfound career as a restaurant owner and Marcus' romantic fears, their possible future hits a series of roadblocks that prove difficult to overcome.

Always Be My Maybe is, first and foremost, a charming comedy that both relies on and benefits from the stars' effortless chemistry and comedic timing. But it's also a touching social commentary that features a series of subplots about family and life as refugees living in America.

If that wasn't enough, the hilarity is dialled up to eleven when Sasha starts dating movie star Keanu Reeves, who slays during an awkward double date sure to reduce you to fits of laughter.
