Part rom-com, part satire/drama/thriller, The Drama isn’t quite sure what kind of movie it wants to be but is rescued by a pair of winning performances from Robert Pattinson and Zendaya.
For the first 30 minutes, The Drama plays exactly like the rom-com it presents itself to be on the surface. Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya) have their charming meet-cute in a café, we see a montage of their budding relationship, and we’re introduced to their entertaining best friends, Mike (Mamoudou Athie) and Rachel (Alana Haim, being given a bit more to chew on than her extended cameo in One Battle After Another).
