The time has come for yet another original movie from Netflix. In their endless quest to create as much original content as possible, Netflix is now taking a trip into weepy tear jerking romance land withIrreplaceable You, which looks the result of someone adding dark humor to a Nicholas Sparks novel. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. In the film, a couple (Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Michiel Huisman) find their lives upended and their future very much in doubt when they learn that Mbatha-Raw’s character has been diagnosed with a fatal illness. The couple tries to deal with this news, and their conflicting emotions, all while hoping for the best but expecting the worst. You can expect many tears to be shed.

I don’t know how to feel about this. On one hand, this looks like the type of manipulative, treacly stuff I tend to avoid. On another, look at that cast! Gugu Mbatha-Raw!Christopher Walken!Kate McKinnon!Steve Coogan!Jacki Weaver! That is a very impressive line-up. The film marks the directorial debut ofStephanie Laing, who’s worked on shows likeVeep,Eastbound and DownandVice Principals.There’s a very good chanceIrreplaceable Youmight turn out to be a pleasant surprise. At the very least, I’m glad the film is putting Gugu Mbatha-Raw in a lead role – she’s a wonderful actress, and deserves as much work as humanly possible.
