The Men of ‘Regretting You’ on Colleen Hoover, Romantic Movies and Shirtless Scenes
The film adapts Colleen Hoover's novel with melodramatic family drama and romantic tension, centering on loss and infidelity in a town of 38,000 residents.
- On Friday, Regretting You opens in theaters as a Paramount Pictures release starring Allison Williams and Dave Franco, directed by Josh Boone and adapted by Susan McMartin, but the review called it disappointing with one and a half stars.
- Following last year's hit It Ends With Us, expectations for Regretting You were substantial as director Josh Boone and screenwriter Susan McMartin returned, while Hoover's CoHorts obsessively dissect plots online.
- Beginning with a high‑school beach scene, the film then jumps 17 years forward to follow Morgan and her daughter Clara , as a car crash kills Chris and Jenny , revealing a long affair that Morgan hides from Clara.
- Critics found pacing problems and an emotional payoff that underwhelms, noting the film veers between Hallmark sentiment and camp; Jocelyn Noveck, The Associated Press, highlights Dave Franco's strong performance amid thin material.
- With a built‑in fanbase, Regretting You will likely satisfy Hoover devotees, as the PG-13 rating targets teen and young‑adult audiences amid CoHorts' ongoing adaptation analyses.
