So I liked the concept of this movie. The love triangle between 3 guys, she needs to choose who is her favorite. But than I wanted to go for a good career and also for Jack but that was not possible, what felt a bit weird. Because why can't she have the singing career and also be with another guy than the person she is singing with. So of course you have a lot of options, but it was not endless. Paul btw had really bad chemistry and their kissing felt so weird that from the beginning on that was a no go for me. So ended up with a career and no man, which was for a movie about love anticlimactic but still the best option in my opinion.
Plot summary

Good concept
This choose your own adventure rom-com kind of falls flat.
I don't know how I feel about this new "choose your own adventure" format. I will say that the romantic comedy and maybe a mystery are the two genres that might lend themselves to this format.
I watched two different endings to this romance, one where Cami ends up with perfect Paul and the other where she ends up with rocker Rex, which I don't feel is much of a spoiler since I assume there is also an ending where she ends up with the one that got away Jack. I can't say I had strong feelings about either ending or any of the characters really. Which leads me to what I think was lost in this "choose your own adventure" format...time wasn't spent developing the characters or their romance. It left everything feeling flat and cliched. Maybe the film needs to be longer in order to develop the romance and still allow you to make choices? Either way this film suffered versus benefitted, coming across as very juvenile and unfinished.
I think it was a cute film to try out this new format on, so if you just want to see how the choose your own adventure works...this is an easy no brainer way to do it, but otherwise this is not a recommendation from me.
I did like a couple of Cami's wardrobe pieces, particularly that great yellowy orange she wore.
It's a classic romcom but...
You get to work out what you would do or go with something you would never do. It is an illusion of choice though, some things will just happen, some choices are already made. That said it is an interesting concept. It looks effortless and is very well done. Creating the choices and making the film hang together as a narrative must have been quite a challenge.
It is interesting to make choices and then rewind and make different ones. You could watch this film a few times with different choices. Ultimately it is fluff and if you take it as such it is enjoyable.
I do not look for plot holes so I may have missed them. It is enjoyable if you are looking for something fluffy and not emotionally taxing.
