What Happens Later

a review by Torsten Rüger

Do not expect to see the old Meg here. In fact if you liked Meg Ryan, best not to watch this one. I wish i hadn't.

It is sad to see people try so hard. When the spark is gone only a shell remains and taints the memory of something that once was truly great.

The subtitle was probably not meant as a pun, but "they missed their connection" really is very accurate. They really have no connection, our two characters, and are each in themselves barely relate-able. Conversation is stilted, forced, topics are trivial. Both actors had very funny movies (The Deal for Meg, Connie and Carla for David) but here we just see tiredness in action. A real tragedy
