Critic Reviews
Meg Ryan not only dazzles before the camera in What Happens Later, but behind it as well, as director and co-writer. Through the prism of one former couple’s relationship woes, this effervescent, enlightened romantic comedy explores our innate need for reconciliation within ourselves and with each other.

Let's be honest, you'd have to have a cold heart to hate this movie.

They’re still appealing. This film is not.
