I like to think I have good taste in movies. However, I'm no stranger to a hot take, and my enjoyment of “Regretting You” definitely puts me in rare company. This 2025 romantic drama was no critical darling (it holds a miserable 29% on Rotten Tomatoes), and I can absolutely see its flaws. But I can’t pretend it’s not a total guilty pleasure watch.
Adapted from the Colleen Hoover movie of the same name (so prepare for “trauma porn”), “Regretting You” is a movie packed with family melodrama, rebellious teens and parents who definitely don’t have life all figured out. It’s cheesy and predictable, but thanks to a strong cast and an ultimate destination that ends on a feel-good high, I can’t hate it.
