Have you seen 2026’s best romantic comedy movie? Based on the box office numbers, you probably haven’t. Thankfully, the Finding Emily Blu-ray is now available for purchase, bringing the great film starring Angourie Rice and Spike Fearn home.
“When a lovesick musician is given the wrong number for his dream girl, he teams up with a struggling psychology student to find her. Together, they spark chaos and a campus-wide frenzy that will test their hearts and ambitions,” says the official description.
Missed connections are at the forefront of Finding Emily, as a one-night encounter with a lovely college student played by Sadie Soverall leaves Spike Fearn’s Owen head over heels. However, after the number saved in his phone is missing a digit, he tries to find her by contacting her school. This leads him to contact every Emily at the school and get help from Angourie Rice’s character, who sees him as a perfect test subject for her thesis that love makes sane people act crazy. It’s a bit of a goofy setup, like most rom-coms, but it is played so well by Fearn and Rice that seeing their characters come together is a real joy.
The film really comes together thanks to a few memorable set pieces that also make it easy to rewatch. Shot in Manchester, the Finding Emily Blu-ray has a nice, authentic quality that really shines in high definition. A few musical performances also stand out, and the audio track sounds great.
The only underwhelming aspect of the Finding Emily Blu-ray is the lack of bonus features. Thankfully, it’s not completely empty, with four deleted scenes totaling nine minutes (including a 4-minute performance of “Weatherman”). These are fun to watch once, and more interactions with these charming characters are always welcome, but some featurettes and thoughts from the talented cast and crew would’ve been nice.
Finding Emily Blu-ray Review: Final Verdict
While the paltry special features are a bummer, the Finding Emily Blu-ray still gets an easy recommendation. The film is charming and inherently rewatchable, like all great rom-coms. If you missed it in theaters, check it out.
