    The ailing “Joan” (Betty Buckley) and her husband “Larry” (Barry Primus) have been married for sixty-odd years and have become a typically cantankerous couple. They are going to their grandchild's gender reveal party where he helps himself to one pretzel too many and ends up beating his wife up the heavenly escalator. Everyone in God’s waiting room arrives at the age at which they were their happiest, and so now “Larry” has become Miles Teller and is assigned “Anna” (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) to help him plan his eternity from a wide variety of options set out in a series of stalls like those at an Ideal Homes Exhibition. He goes to drown his sorrows whilst he ponders his options and meets barman “Luke” (Callum Turner) and then, guess what, “Joan” follows suit and now Elizabeth Olsen arrives just in time for them to plan their eternity together and live happily ever after. Well that might have been the plan except that “Luke” turns out to be her first husband, killed in the Korean War, and he has been waiting all this time for her to arrive. She has quite a choice to make. The first love, the lifetime one, neither? What now ensues sees the two men joust verbally and physically for the love of their lady whilst she avails herself of the memory archives to help her choose. It sounds quite cheesy and sentimental but it’s actually quite a poignant look at marriage. How love’s bright spark becomes something perhaps dull or perhaps sustaining, maybe even both? With an eternity looming what chance any of us could agree on how best to spend it, much less imagine we might still be 28 in one thousand years time! The scene-stealing Randolph and John Early’s fellow counsellor “Ryan” help keep the humour simmering always nicely as it ambles along and though charming sounds a bit twee, that’s what this is and there’s probably a leaflet for it, too.

    Enjoyed the premise. There are some great jokes, but they're sporadic. The two AC's steal every scene they're in. Overall, it was just 'meh'.
