The meet-cute romcom that has fans swooning

EMILY Bader as Poppy, Lucien Laviscount as Trey, Tom Blyth as Alex, and Sarah Catherine Hook as Sarah in People We Meet On Vacation. | Netflix

(Netflix)

What brought this on? It would be People We Meet On Vacation on Netflix. I was completely captivated by the leads in this film, soaking up the clever, quirky script and feeling deeply moved by the tenderness of the direction. It's been a minute since a movie has charmed me as much.

Imagine storylines that are playful yet unforgettable, similar to Love, Rosie, Crazy, Stupid, Love, 27 Dresses, Knocked Up, and The Back-Up Plan, as well as timeless classics like Notting Hill and When Harry Met Sally.

Adapted from Emily Henry's 2021 novel, this romcom by Bretty Haley is based on a screenplay developed by Nunzio Randazzo, Amos Vernon and Yulin Kuang.

At the heart of the story are Poppy Wright (Emily Bader) and Alex Nilsen (Tom Blyth).

Litfest in the Land of the Kings

RAJASTHAN translates as the “land of the kings” and the crown jewel is unmistakably the architectural marvel of the “pink city” of Jaipur cloaked from drinking well to palace dome in the dusty terracotta hue decreed by Maharaja Ram Singh in 1876 to welcome the bum-in-butter Prince of Wales who was later to be crowned King Edward VI.
