Warning! SPOILERS for I Want You Back.

Amazon Prime's romantic comedyI Want You Backpremiered February 11, with the ending of the film ambiguously implying that lead characters Peter (Charlie Day) and Emma (Jenny Slate) get together. The film begins with the two breaking up from their respective partners — Peter from Anne (Gina Rodriguez, Jane The Virgin) and Emma from Noah (Scott Eastwood, The Fate Of The Furious). Heartbroken, Peter and Emma find each other crying in the stairwell of their office building, and they bond over a night of drunken karaoke. Finding out that their exes are in new relationships, they form a scheme to help each other end the relationships and get back with their old partners. Peter will befriend Noah, and Emma will flirt with Anne's new boyfriend Logan (Manny Jacinto, The Good Place). 

Following a standard rom-com formula as the genre revives itself from a 2000s slump, this plan is a recipe for awkwardness, especially when only Peter successfully reunites with Anne. The couples involved find each other on a riverboat wedding for Noah and his partner, Ginny (Clark Backo). Emma reveals the whole plan to the couples, leading their old partners to cut ties with them permanently. In the end, Peter and Emma sit silently across the aisle from each other on a plane, where an "airplane safety mask person" callback comes into play with Peter putting on Emma's oxygen mask before his own.
