Even though they exhibit model adult-relationship behavior – which therapists everywhere will applaud - cinematically, the minutes plod on as Sam watches Chris and his brothers play sandlot football on campus, and Jorge and Leslie lounge on a Hawaiian beach. This is all fine and good, but – other than two specific medical issues – the couples don’t run into conflicts, clashes, compromise, or contention. Throughout most of the first two acts, “2 Hearts” offers – accompanied by an uber-sentimental score - these warm courtships, as each pair of lovebirds - from different locales and times - share their goals, hopes, and feelings with their respective partners. In a parallel amorous yarn, Jorge and Leslie (Mitchell) only have eyes for one another too. He’s a sweet, thoughtful guy and delivers his proverbs with the cadence of Jack Handey, but sans the punchlines, and why not? Heck, he meets Sam (Tiera Skovbye), a wholesome, studious co-ed, and they fall in love.
Ah, but Jorge meets a flight attendant (Radha Mitchell) on a Pan Am flight, and since the airline disbanded in 1991, 1980 or so feels about right.Ĭhris also happens to be our narrator, and he frequently declares philosophical mantras about finding one’s purpose and that “life happens for us, not to us.”

Chris (Jacob Elordi) - a happy-go-lucky, all-American high school senior who eyes college and good times - lives in more recent times, while Jorge (Adan Canto) – an industrious Cuban professional who helps run his father’s rum business – resides in a prior era. This feature actually presents two narratives from different periods. You might unearth some clues, but discovering the exact answer will prove pretty darn impossible. His characters seem to live in the pre-Internet past, but deciphering the exact on-screen year is like attempting to decode David Lynch’s “Mulholland Dr.” (2001) or ascertain the meaning of a random Jackson Pollock painting. I need you.” – Stacey Q, “Two of Hearts”ĭirector Lance Hool’s romantic drama “2 Hearts” does not feature a smartphone, an incoming email, or a Yelp review. “2 Hearts” – “As the world becomes a more digital place, we cannot forget about the human connection.” – Adam Neumann Starring: Radha Mitchell, Tiera Skovbye, Jacob Elordi, and Adan Canto
‘2 Hearts’ has good intentions, but it flutters with clichés
