It's an interesting concept for a movie but unfortunately the execution is quite bland. [spoiler]Unfortunately both divergences play out pretty much the same but with slightly different variables so consequently, by the end, it feels like a movie that was retroactively made about a "what if" because they couldn't decide on a plot and just shot both. Another thing is that timelines are bit confusing to follow in the beginning, then they introduce the haircut as a way to better guide the viewer but this is flipped near the end and kinda goes back to a bit confusing. Likewise, many topics that were explored (like postpartum depression, the hardships of co-parenting, long distance relationships, plans not always working out especially with non-mom Nat) weren't really explored in a way that was compelling and the film ends mostly brushing them off. So this paired with the extremely similar outcomes for both Natalies, come off flat because stuff just kinda works out for both of them so her getting pregnant or not wasn't really that big of a deal. Just her getting a kid and a different boyfriend. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]So what was the point of the movie? Is destiny real and no matter what you do you're gonna end up the same? Don't plan cause shit is gonna go haywire anyway? I get it, it a Netflix rom-com but that doesn't exempt it from trying a bit at least. The one saving grace is the cast.[/spoiler]

Strong potential, couldn't get there. If you got 2 hours to burn, it's harmless.
