"Emma and Charlie are a Boston-based couple with an enviable apartment who are speedily approaching the date of their wedding. The film opens on their meet-cute in a coffee shop."
"Charlie is enraptured by Emma's looks when he spots her sitting alone, reading a book titled The Damage. When she gets up to retrieve more coffee, Charlie scurries over and takes a picture of the (fake) book he's never read."
"The film's primary timeline occurs two years later, when Charlie is working on his vows with his friend Mike and rummaging through his memories to find what about Emma drew him."
The film features Emma and Charlie, a couple nearing their wedding, navigating their relationship in a Boston apartment. Their meet-cute involves Charlie's awkward attempt to connect with Emma, who is partially deaf. The narrative unfolds two years later as Charlie reflects on his feelings for Emma while preparing his wedding vows. The film's marketing has created significant audience anticipation, but the actual premise may not deliver the expected impact, revealing a disconnect between promotional material and the film's execution.
