Amazon brings this sunny teen rom-com, in which a computer-whiz and romantic cynic student Zoey explores love and relationships with soccer hero Zach, after he gets amnesia following a car accident and believes she is his girlfriend (also called Zoey, of course). The film is calculated formula to the nth degree, right from their early bookshop encounter mirroring the library scene in Love Story, and this is the type of film in which the heroine drinks rose-infused matcha lattes and works in a bookshop and the hero is the dumb jock stereotype who flashes his abs - even Andie MacDowell shows up for good measure - and the whole scenario could have been avoided with a simple conversation early on. Nevertheless, the two leads (Josephne Langford and Drew Starkey) play the nonsense quite sweetly, and Mallori Johnson brings a fresh lively energy as Zoey's best friend.
