(DVD Love)
Love Again is a romance film with some comedic undertones, and also featuring a soundtrack comprised almost entirely of Celine Dion music, including 5 all-new Dion songs — and Dion appears as herself in the film! Mira Ray (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) is still recovering from the tragic death of her longtime boyfriend (and near fiancee), John. When her younger sister tries to push her back into the dating scene, Mira is reluctant but willing. Meanwhile, Rob Burns is a British writer working as a music critic for a New York City newspaper/website. Rob has just been assigned to write a profile piece on Celine Dion, who is about to start her new tour, but finds no connection for himself to Dion’s soaring love-filled songs.
Until he starts receiving heart-wrench text messages on his newly-assigned work cellphone, from an unidentified young woman pouring out her grief and loneliness. The sender is Mira, texting her late boyfriend’s old number. When Rob doesn’t immediately respond back, he finds himself pulled into a quest to find the woman with her heart on her sleeve. And with the love advice of Celine Dion, he may actually have a chance.
Heartfelt performances, great music, terrific chemistry between the leads, and some laugh-out-loud humorous moments from the supporting cast. Though the central relationship is tinged with sadness, regrets and uncertainty, this still falls into standard RomCom territory, and I enjoyed it tremendously…enough so as to go out and buy the film’s Celine Dion-heavy soundtrack on CD!
