Are you tired of cliched rom-com second act conundrums that you can see coming because they make sense? Long Weekend doesn't have that problem!
If you can avoid spoilers and go with the flow, it's a pretty enjoyable watch. Likable characters, engaging writing, charming acting, and a lot of warmth that feels genuine.
Ending is kinda meh but doesn't hurt the film too much if you refuse to think about it, which is a bargain you'll be familiar with striking by that point. They should've rolled credits after the couch convo. Everything after is either a copout because they got cold feet about undoing too much, or we're expected to believe she was there to save him which doesn't hold up because she contributed too little to the decision to end up in the hospital. But since it's so easy to ignore the last couple scenes and imagine the ambiguous ending, we get to choose our own adventure.
