Warning: Spoilers
One of the strongest elements of this film is how accurately it portrays what its like to date your best friend as a young adult. At first, the two leads might not seem like a match made in heaven, but as the plot develops and they become best friends throughout the film, the audience starts to root for a relationship between these two best friends because it just makes sense: they are great company for each other are going through the same turmoils and struggles in their young adult life.

The unique dynamic between this eccentric girl and this more reserved guy is refreshing and has audiences rooting for a relationship between them. Maya Erskine's physical and blunt comedy paired with Jack Quaid's minimal and deadpan comedy leaves no dull moments in their interactions. And the climax of the movie is one of many moments of great acting by Maya Erskine.

The strength of the relationship between these characters is so great that no matter which way the ending went, it still makes for a heartwarming, funny, and authentic dynamic that is relatable and worth a watch.

If you're in the mood for a more bare bones and close-to-home take on romance between young professionals, Plus One is a must-see.
