The Internet Is Absolutely Obsessed With Netflix’s New Rom-Com ‘Always Be My Maybe’
Keanu Reeves PLAYS HIMSELF, but extremely sexual?
Netflix is making itself the home of cute rom-coms, and I love it. The latest beautiful horse in its romantic comedy stable is Ali Wong’s wonderful Always Be My Maybe — and everyone is actually obsessed.
The films stars Ali Wong and Randall Park as childhood sweethearts who reconnect decades later.
Park’s character still has feelings for Wong’s after all this time, but feels a little outclassed by her lovers, played by Daniel Dae Kim and later John Wick himself — literally two of the hottest men in the world.
One cannot help but wonder if Ali Wong simply made this movie to kiss attractive men — if so, what a powerful and pure energy. What a queen.
Also, Keanu Reeves plays HIMSELF in this film, but a weirdly overtly sexual version of himself.
This is… good.
Anyway, since it’s hit Netflix, there’s been a huge outpouring of EXTREME love and devotion to this movie.
They love how funny it is, they love how sweet it is, they love how PACKED with good representation it is.
They also love how much Keanu is in it.
5 minutes in and Always Be My Maybe is already my favorite movie

#AlwaysBeMyMaybe understands Asian heritage
– the subtleties of parent-child relationships & the way love is implicit/ expressed through acts rather than language
– refuses to portray AsAm culture as a monolith—& understands that in SF Chinatown you'd be speaking Cantonese!

Watching Always Be My Maybe. It's LOL and amazing, as expected.
– I love that Keanu Reeves plays himself.
– This movie made me realize that Randall Park can get it. Like all of it. All the time. Damn, dude.— Katee Robert (@katee_robert) May 31, 2019

Just finished Always Be My Maybe and it was so much more than expected. Not just a fun fluff piece, but biting wit and humor and liked how it showed women shouldn’t be guilty for their success. A wonderfully genuine movie and a true triumph. Thank you, @aliwong.
