'Finding Emily' Review: Angourie Rice and Spike Fearn Star in a Well-Acted, Poorly Written Mess

Romantic comedies aren't known for their technical mastery when it comes to the cinematic craft. In a decent rom-com, this doesn't matter much. A good story with cute leads, solid performances and a teenie bit of drama can go a long way so far as the enjoyability of a genre predominantly made up of popcorn flicks is concerned. Unfortunately, Alicia MacDonald's "Finding Emily" only ticks one of those boxes. The story follows Owen (Spike Fearn) as he tries to reach Emily (Sadie Soverall) after their meet cute of a lovely night of dancing and batting their eyelashes at each other. . . .
