WHAT HAPPENS LATER

Director: Meg Ryan
Starring: Meg Ryan, David Duchovny

We haven’t seen Meg Ryan on the big screen in eight years. She was the queen of rom-coms and makes a welcome return to the genre with What Happens Later. Meg Ryan is  both in front of the camera and behind the camera with What Happens Later. She directed and co-wrote the film which is based on a play “Shooting Star” by Steven Dietz. Ryan’s character, Willa Davis is stuck at a small regional airport due to heavy storms. There she runs into William Davis (David Duchovny). Both of them have the shared “W. Davis” name, but that’s not all. They were once lovers and haven’t seen each other in decades. Both are headed to Boston but find themselves stuck at the airport after flights are grounded due to the heavy storms. The film becomes a back and forth between two exes, as they drudge up the past, what went wrong, and all the what-ifs in between.

Here’s my review
