During one of the many wedding speeches in “Plus One,” there is a line that describes love as “finding someone you want to hang out with as long as humanly possible.” The idea of wanting to spend time with something for an extended period is how I feel about “Plus One,” a 2019 rom-com now available to stream on Netflix. It's perfect for Valentine's Day viewing.
Written and directed by Jeff Chan and Andrew Rhymer, “Plus One” stars Jack Quaid and Maya Erskine as Ben King and Alice Mori, two friends from college who have had their fair share of relationship problems. Ben believes in “meet cutes” and holding out for perfection, while Alice struggles to cope with being dumped by her ex-boyfriend. It's a classic yin and yang situation, but it paves the wave for an honest friendship.
