Joe Alwyn, Mary Beth Barone to Star in Lena Dunham-Produced Rom-Com ‘Still We Met’

Reactions to the casting announcement are somewhat split between excitement from rom-com fans and Alwyn supporters versus skepticism over Alwyn's charisma, the clichéd premise, and Dunham's involvement. Overall tone remains light banter rather than polarized outrage, with roughly 60-70% positive reactions.

“Joe Alwyn will star opposite Mary Beth Barone in rom-com ‘STILL WE MET,’ written by Barone. Lena Dunham will executive produce the film. It follows a young woman at a crossroads who meets a charming British stranger and spends one unforgettable night wandering New York.”
