‘Oh, Hi!’ Review: Logan Lerman & Molly Gordon’s Romantic Getaway Goes Wrong In Sophie Brooks’ Rom-Com — Sundance Film Festival
As the couple in 'Oh, Hi!' struggles to fully commit, the Sundance romantic-comedy from Sophie Brooks also struggled to connect with its audience.
Writer-director Brooks’ sophomore feature stars Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman as Iris and Isaac, a new couple who goes on a romantic getaway that comes to a screeching halt when they reach a misunderstanding about their relationship status. At one point during her impromptu hostage situation, Gordon’s Iris admitted she didn’t have much of a plan past keeping him tied up, which felt like an unfortunate metaphor for the structure of the story in which only half the jokes land… as if they were hoping the audience would get Stockholm syndrome. attempts to speak to a generation disillusioned with romance, in pursuit of something more lasting, it’s ultimately a dark comedy that doesn’t say anything new about how millennials and gen Z view sex, monogamy and mental health.
