Forever My Girl
A mediocre, wholesome, vaguely Christian romantic drama with a country soundtrack—you know the type. Written and directed by Bethany Ashton Wolf from Heidi McLaughlin's novel, it's about a young country superstar, Liam (Alex Roe), who returns to his Louisiana hometown eight years after ditching his fiancée, Josie (Jessica Rothe), and finds he has a daughter (Abby Ryder Fortson) who might be able to help him make amends with Josie, his pastor father (John Benjamin Hickey), and the others he hurt. There's little conflict beyond Liam's internal "What if I don't deserve forgiveness?" struggle, so we're just waiting for him and Josie to patch things up. Agreeably bland.
