There is a scene where Emma is smitten with him as he helps a grandmother type with a walker carry her tray of food to a nearby table. For instance, Day’s Peter has always dreamed of opening up nursing that respects older adults as people. What I Want You Back has going for it is it folds in classic rom-com tropes with an excellent sense of modern alternative comedy style and gentle nature. The desired outcome is that she will go crawling back to Day’s Peter. Emma will take Anna (Gina Rodriguez) but plans to play for her new boyfriend, Logan ( Manny Jacinto). Peter will take Noah (Scott Eastwood), a personal trainer who is obsessively positive and supportive. They hatch a plan to befriend the other’s ex in hopes of swaying them back to their former flames. That’s until they find out they have already moved on with different people.
At first, they lean on each other so they won’t pathetically contact their exes. They meet in a building stairwell, having difficulty controlling their unhappiness at work. They play Peter and Emma, two sad sacks whose partners have just dumped them. Neither is classically good-looking, and their character types are usually reserved for characters tagged in for comic relief. You have an actor who has perfected his neurotic schtick in Charlie Day, and Jenny Slate, who never met an idler role that is happily stuck in arrested development she hasn’t fallen in love with. Written by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, the writing team behind Love, Simon, and directed by Jason Orley ( Big Time Adolescence), they cast the leads against type. (The other being the timid Book of Love). I Want You Back is the second romantic comedy film Amazon Prime has released in consecutive weeks.
