Regretting You
If you're into emotional family dramas with a romantic twist, Regretting You might be worth checking out—just don’t expect it to win over the critics. Based on Colleen Hoover’s 2019 novel, this 2025 film dives deep into the complicated relationship between a mother and daughter after a tragic accident turns their world upside down. Directed by Josh Boone and written by Susan McMartin, the movie stars Allison Williams as Morgan Grant and Mckenna Grace as her daughter Clara, with Dave Franco, Mason Thames, and Scott Eastwood rounding out the cast.
The story spans two generations, starting in the late 2000s with a close-knit group of teens whose lives take a dramatic turn. Fast forward seventeen years, and Morgan and Clara are navigating the aftermath of a devastating car crash that reveals a shocking betrayal. As secrets unravel, both women are forced to reevaluate their relationships, their pasts, and what it means to move forward. It’s a story about grief, love, and the messy, beautiful process of healing.
The film leans heavily into emotional territory, so if you enjoy stories about family dynamics, heartbreak, and rediscovery, this could be your kind of movie. Fans of Colleen Hoover’s books will likely appreciate seeing her characters brought to life, especially with strong performances from Williams and Grace. On the flip side, if you’re not into melodrama or prefer your romances with a lighter touch, this one might feel a bit heavy-handed.
Despite its solid cast and a decent box office showing—earning over $53 million on a $30 million budget—Regretting You didn’t exactly win over critics. With only 28% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and a Metacritic score of 33, the general consensus was less than glowing. Still, sometimes a movie resonates more with audiences than reviewers, especially when it taps into universal themes like loss, forgiveness, and the bonds that hold families together.
So, if you're in the mood for a heartfelt drama with a mix of romance and family secrets, Regretting You could be a compelling watch. Just bring some tissues—and maybe lower expectations if you're going by the critics' scores.
