Happy
Romantic
AngryOlive Smith, a biology PhD candidate, and Dr. Adam Carlsen, a hotshot professor and well-known tyrant, enter into a fake relationship, seeing each of their carefully calculated theories on love get thrown into chaos.
Why watch it
You walk into a cramped campus coffee shop and hear the clink of mugs, then Olive's impulsive kiss on the intimidating professor slices through the academic hum like a sudden spark. The film lets you watch a fake chemistry experiment unfold, with witty banter and awkward glances that feel as fragile as a beaker about to tip over. If you’re after a light-hearted rom-com that teeters between pretended and genuine connection, you’ll leave smiling and a little more hopeful about accidental love.
