People We Meet on Vacation may be a lighthearted rom-com, but it's proving to be polarizing among critics and fans alike. The movie, which serves as the first book-to-film adaptation for bestselling author Emily Henry, follows Poppy (Emily Bader) and Alex (Tom Blyth) as they form an unlikely friendship while driving home from college one year. Realizing they make excellent travel pals, the pair promise to take one vacation each year together no matter the circumstances. But with each trip, their feelings grow more complex, eventually threatening to throw their entire relationship off-kilter.
