Rent Finding Emily (2026)

Wrong Number, Right Enough - Finding Emily review by griggs

There's a gentle pleasure in a film that doesn't try to reinvent anything, and Finding Emily settles nicely into that lane — low stakes, warm heart, nothing here to trouble awards season.

Spike Fearn spends the film hunting for the Emily who gave him the wrong number, while Angourie Rice tags along with an agenda that has very little to do with true love and a lot to do with her psychology thesis. The plot's thin enough to call from space, but it moves briskly, and I never once checked my phone. Fearn and Rice have a genuinely nice rapport, warm enough to carry a script that's more functional than sparkling.

A few turns are so telegraphed you could set your watch by them, and there are stretches where the whole thing feels carefully assembled to hit one very specific comfort-watch demographic. Still, it never feels cynical. There's charm here, decent pace, and a script smart enough to know how much emotional weight it can carry without pulling something.

I came away fond of it. It's the kind of film you switch on expecting filler and end up glad you did. Comfortable, charming, mildly forgettable — and honestly, that'll do just fine.
