The movie does a fantastic job of showcasing how authentically vulnerable each of the characters were. The characters didn't hide their feelings; instead, laying them out for the entire audience to see as new pieces of information came to light.

Claria (McKenna Grace) has text conversations throughout the movie, and the text bubbles from her iPhone are shown on screen. This unique touch made the audience feel like they were living her conversations with her as her companion, whether she was texting her Aunt Jenny (Willa Fitzgerald) or her school friend turned boyfriend Miller (Mason Thames). 

People in life have a refuge, a place they can go or a thing they can do at a time when they need to escape, no matter what is going on, and no matter how they are feeling. In the film, Clara's refuge was her local AMC. Seeing how the theater brought Miller and Clara together was heartwarming, as movies offer a respite from the world and allow people to immerse themselves in film.  

In life, people go through relationships, sometimes behind others' backs. When life brings people down, they shouldn’t dwell on it; instead, focusing on what makes them happy and try to move forward. Seeing Clara's best friend Lexie (Sam Morelos) make perfectly timed comedic jokes added a much-needed spark of laughter, which was definitely needed, because when people go through a challenging situation and are trying to move on, laughter is a remarkable medicine.

Colleen Hoover's “Regretting You” is a wonderful rom-drama that will pull at the audience’s heartstrings while also making them laugh and sending a reminder that people heal in different ways and that they ought not to be hard on themselves. The film releases in theaters on October 24th. On JFoo’s Footastic rating scale, I’d give this film four stars out of five.
