Always Be My Maybe (2019) | Nahnatchka Khan

from To the '90s and Beyond! Film Podcast · host Vince Leo

The main premise is that two childhood friends, Sasha Tran (Ali Wong) and Marcus Kim (Randall Park), end up consummating their time growing up together as Asian-American teens in San Francisco with their first sexual experience, only to find their friendship has become awkward after going beyond the friend zone. These besties soon drift apart and lose connection as they progress into adulthood, with Sasha hitting the big time by becoming one of the most successful celebrity chefs in Los Angeles, while Marcus works by day in his father's small-scale HVAC company while performing at the same dive bar frequently with the hip-hop group he's been in since he was a teenager. When Sasha going to the opening of one of her posh restaurants in San Francisco, she ends up getting reacquainted with her old friend Marcus and finds him exactly in the same place, driving the same car, doing the same things all these years, while she's become a jet-setting millionaire.  Neither can stand each other's lives, but they seem to enjoy each other's company for the time being, and with both stuck in relationships that may not lead anywhere, there's a "maybe" that develops, even though it seems their different lifestyles can never coexist without someone giving in.  Nahnatchka Khan directs this romantic comedy in the vein of "When Harry Met Sally". Keanu Reeves gets an inspired bit part.
