Finding Emily is directed by Alicia MacDonald and stars Angourie Rice as Emily Raine and Spike Fearn as Owen Brompton. When Owen meets a woman named Emily on a night out, he believes he may have found someone special. But after discovering that the phone number she gave him is missing a digit, he sets out to find her again. His search brings him into the orbit of another Emily, a psychology student who sees his romantic quest as the perfect subject for her university thesis.
What follows is a charming romantic comedy built around missed connections, unexpected friendships, and the unpredictable ways people find love. As Emily helps Owen search for the woman he met, their adventures give them both a chance to question what they think they know about romance.
Finding Emily is one of the best romantic comedies in years. It embraces the familiar pleasures of the genre while giving its central relationship enough warmth and personality to feel fresh. Rice and Fearn make an appealing pair, and their chemistry gives the story an emotional foundation that makes it easy to become invested in their journey.
The film understands that a great romantic comedy needs more than a clever premise. It needs characters audiences want to spend time with and a relationship they can root for. Finding Emily delivers on both fronts, making it a must-see for fans of the genre.
Finding Emily is a delightful romantic comedy and worth seeing at a drive-in near you.
