‘Love Language’ Review: Chloë Grace Moretz Sells Words of Affirmation in an Old-School Romcom With Gen-Z Trappings

Chloë Grace Moretz plays Louisa, a blocked writer who earns money composing wedding vows while struggling with her own romantic feelings. The review describes “Love Language” as a pleasant, nostalgic romantic comedy that uses familiar 1990s romcom conventions, suggesting that screen portrayals of young love have changed less than their modern setting might imply.

After a broken engagement, Louisa reuses her own abandoned vows for her friend Tilda, whose guests then ask her to write theirs. She meets Dash, who is interested in a serious relationship, and reconnects with Warren, a former college crush who is marrying Olivia, for whom Louisa has been hired to write vows. The review praises the cast and warm depiction of Chicago, but says the film is sentimental rather than consistently funny and that the romantic dilemma lacks balance.
