Katharine B @Catalina68 14h We started watching The People We Meet on Vacation not entirely sure what to expect, but it ended up being a real surprise in the best way. Even in our 50s, we both found ourselves genuinely laughing out loud, something that doesn’t happen often with modern romantic comedies. What stood out most was how original it felt. It avoided a lot of the usual predictable beats and instead leaned into a more natural, easygoing rhythm that made the characters feel grounded and believable. The chemistry between the leads was strong, it carried the film and made even the quieter moments engaging rather than flat. It’s one of those rare movies that manages to be light without feeling shallow. Funny, warm, and surprisingly fresh, it worked for us far better than we expected. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom 16h A warm and easygoing watch, People We Meet on Vacation works well as a Netflix film for a relaxing movie night. It blends romance and friendship in a way that feels light but still engaging throughout. The chemistry between the leads is the strongest part of the film, carrying many of the emotional and humorous moments. The tone stays consistent, with a soft, travel-inspired atmosphere that keeps it visually appealing. It also touches on relatable ideas like timing, personal growth, and reconnecting with people from your past. While it doesn’t try to be overly complex, it stays enjoyable and easy to follow from start to finish. Overall, it’s a solid romantic watch that delivers what it promises without overdoing it. I would rate it a 7/10 for its charm, performances, and comfort-watch appeal.

It was kinda unclear how they ended up going to college together and carpooling in the beginning except maybe mutual friends or family said so and so is going there too.? I’m not sure but as they kept going on summer vacations soon after, you could tell there was an unspoken thing between them. I gave this 4/5 because even though I find parts of the beginning too cringey, I think it could have done without the wedding. It felt unnecessary in a way and I know there is more of a push to make at least one character or such gay but I miss just seeing transitional weddings in movies and shows. I know I’m not the only one. I never read the book so I’m not sure if that’s how it also plays out but I feel like they could have easily just ran into each other at the airport for one of her trips or even a reason he comes to New York or her going to Ohio for something. Very typical I know. See more Amelia R @RT15524691 May 13 It was honestly really bad. The plot wasn't interesting and unclear. Acting was very mid. Doesn't make you feel good or bad. Don't waste your time See more Jessica S @RT27550087 May 7 I don't care about cinematography or any of that crap. This movie "spoke to me". Just watch it - the acting was pretty good, too. It really made the book come alive in a way I didn't think it would. Funny, witty, romantic, but so heartfelt. Just watch it! See more Read all reviews
