At that , Lucy meets Henry (Pedro Pascal), the wealthy brother of the groom. As if the universe has a sense of humor, her ex, John (Chris Evans), turns up as a waiter. We get the backstory in a flash: five years together, one broken heart, and an anniversary dinner eaten off a food cart. That’s where it ended.
Lucy doesn’t hide her intentions anymore. “Marriage is a business deal. It always has been,” she says, blunt but clear. And Johnson plays her with such subtle control that the line never feels cruel, just honest.
Henry is polished, generous, a man who knows his world and moves through it effortlessly. He and Lucy share the same language of ambition, aesthetics, and a curated lifestyle. “Once you’ve had your first $400 haircut,” he says, “you can’t go back to Supercuts.” That one line says everything about their connection, not romantic heat but .
John, on the other hand, is all warmth and ache. Evans plays him like a man still holding his breath every time Lucy’s around. Their chemistry is natural and lived-in, full of moments that feel like emotional deja vu.
