If the premise sounds like the stuff of beach reads, it is. The only issue? Emma’s first husband Jesse ( Luke Bracey) was presumed dead after a fatal helicopter crash, and miraculously is rescued four years later, proving to be alive and very ready to rekindle his relationship with Emma right before her wedding to Sam. Liu is Sam, a high school music teacher who finally lands the woman of his dreams, childhood crush Emma ( Phillipa Soo). Liu leads “One True Loves,” the big screen adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s 2016 novel of the same name. But, somehow, this rom-com adaptation is more plastic than “Barbie.” Simu Liu may be starring in one of the biggest movies of 2023, but no one will mistake “ One True Loves” for that honorific.
