Irreplaceable You is a romantic-comedy-drama film that follows the story of Abbie (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and Sam (Michiel Huisman), a couple who have been together since childhood and are engaged to be married. However, their lives take an unexpected turn when Abbie is diagnosed with terminal cancer. As she grapples with the news, Abbie decides to make a list of all the things she wants to do before she dies, and one of the things on the list is to find a new girlfriend for Sam. She doesn't want Sam to be alone after she's gone, and she wants to make sure that he's happy.

Abbie sets out on the mission to find Sam a new girlfriend, but as she meets different women and tries to play matchmaker, she realizes that it's not as easy as she thought. She also starts to question whether she made the right decision in trying to find someone else for Sam, and wonders whether he would be better off alone.

Meanwhile, Abbie also has to navigate her relationships with her family and friends, who are all struggling to come to terms with her diagnosis. Her best friend Myron (played by Steve Coogan) is particularly affected by the news, and he tries to help Abbie make the most of her remaining time.

The film explores themes of love, loss, friendship, and the complexities of navigating terminal illness. It manages to strike a delicate balance between humor and heartbreak, and the performances of the cast are all outstanding.

Gbatha-Raw delivers a powerful and emotional performance as Abbie, conveying both the strength and vulnerability of her character. Huisman is also excellent as Sam, bringing a charming and warm-hearted presence to the screen.

The supporting cast is equally impressive, with Coogan adding a touch of humor and levity to the film, and Christopher Walken delivering a moving performance as Abbie's father.

Overall, Irreplaceable You is a poignant and heartfelt film that explores the human experience in the face of adversity. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there can be moments of joy and beauty, and that the bonds of love and friendship can be unbreakable.

Irreplaceable You is a 2018 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 36 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.4 and a MetaScore of 34.
