Juliet, Naked (2018)

This is admittedly a pretty predictable romantic comedy, but as I like all three co-stars, I had a good time watching it.  Everything does not have to be epic.  I can use a little diversion every once in awhile.
So here is the story.  Duncan ( Chris O'Dowd, playing the terrible self absorbed boyfriend like he was born to the part) has an obsessional infatuation with Tucker Crowe (played by Ethan Hawke).  He collects all of his bootleg recordings, has pictures of him all over the room he stores his music in, writes a blog with a following of similarly obsessed fans, and devotes time everyday to fan the flames of his love for Tucker's music.  Reminded me of Grateful Dead fans of years gone by.  His girlfriend gets fed up with him one night and writes a comment on a blog post that she disagrees with, and guess who responds to her by email?  Tucker Crowe, agreeing with her assessment of which recording was better.  And so their unlikely friendship begins.  A good light date night kind of fare.
