“Joan” (Betty Buckley) and her husband “Larry” (Barry Primus), who have been married for around sixty years, are portrayed as a rather grumpy couple. They're on their way to a gender reveal party for a grandchild when Larry’s indulgence in an extra pretzel leads to him assaulting his wife as they ascend toward the afterlife. In God’s waiting room, people arrive at the age representing their peak happiness, so now “Larry” appears as Miles Teller and is paired with “Anna” (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) to assist him in arranging his eternity from a selection of choices presented like displays at a home show. He retreats to drink away his worries while contemplating these options and encounters barman “Luke” (Callum Turner). Then, predictably, “Joan” follows suit, bringing Elizabeth Olsen into the picture so they can plan their eternal life together and presumably find contentment. That seemed to be the intention, anyway, until it’s revealed that “Luke” was her first husband, lost in the Korean War, and he's been patiently waiting for her arrival. She now faces a difficult decision: choose her first love, her lifelong partner, or neither? What follows is a verbal and physical competition between the two men vying for her affection while she explores memory records to aid her choice. It might sound overly sentimental and contrived, but it’s actually quite touching in its exploration of marriage. The initial excitement of love can evolve into something that's either lackluster or enduring—or perhaps both. Considering an eternity stretches before them, how could anyone possibly agree on the ideal way to spend it, let alone envision themselves remaining twenty-eight years old a thousand years from now! Da’Vine Joy Randolph steals scenes, and John Early’s fellow counselor “Ryan” consistently adds humor as the story unfolds at a leisurely pace. It has a charming quality that borders on being overly precious, but that's precisely what it is; there’s likely even a brochure to go with it.
