Curator Review
Verdict
A glossy, melodramatic family-romance adaptation that seems built for fans of tearjerker twists, but the reception suggests more eye-rolling than catharsis. If you enjoy highly emotional, soapy relationship drama with a YA-adjacent sheen, it may be watchable; otherwise it looks overcooked and frustrating.
Best for
Viewers who like emotionally heightened family secrets and reconciliation dramas
Fans of contemporary romance with a strong melodramatic streak
People who enjoy adaptation discourse and campy, memeable movie reactions
Skip if
You want grounded, subtle character writing
You dislike contrived twists and soap-opera plotting
You are tired of glossy book-to-film melodrama
Overview
Regretting You plays like a polished emotional puzzle box: grief, betrayal, romance, and parent-child tension all colliding in a story about what happens when a family’s private mythology collapses. Josh Boone’s sensibility tends toward soft-focus feeling and earnest heartbreak, and this material is designed to push every button it can find.
Worth noting
The problem is that the movie’s appeal seems to depend on whether you buy into its big revelations and heightened behavior. The response around it points to a film that is more likely to inspire disbelief, jokes, and secondhand embarrassment than the kind of swooning catharsis its title promises. That doesn’t make it inert, just very specific.
Bottom line
For viewers who like their romance-drama with maximal emotion, messy secrets, and a little bit of glossy absurdity, there may be enough here to latch onto. For everyone else, it sounds like a long sit built around familiar beats, thinly disguised as a devastating family reckoning.

Oooh look at me i’m Mason Thames. I’ve starred in the live-action version of one of the best animations ever made. I also kissed both Mckenna Grace and Nico Parker. And I'm only 18 years old. Fuck you.

A family-repair story centered on hidden hurt and the awkwardness of reconnection.
