This boy has got to be one of the biggest soccer fans anyone will ever see. I can’t even glue my
eyes to a screen like that. This is 2019’s See You Soon, and we’re about to see if love
can withstand anything. And I mean ANYTHING. Spoiler alert. While I might give you my opinion
on the film, that’s no substitute for watching it for yourself. Links
to the film are in the description. While Danny watches Ryan play on the TV,
Danny’s father, Ruslan comes in and tells him that he will be taking Danny to his old boxing coach so
he can stop watching the players. Lana continues getting him ready, but she vocalizes that she
thinks soccer is a much better option for him. Meanwhile, Ryan prepares to score a penalty kick,
and when it’s successful, we see just how much the crowd and teammates love him. Back in Russia,
Lana takes Danny to his soccer game, and she gets a text from Ruslan that he won’t
be able to make it because he’s working. Once Danny is done, he mopes all the way to
his mother, and he tells her that it’s because Ruslan never showed up.
This is one of those movies where we’re supposed to focus on a future romance,
but now all I want is for Danny to be happy. Poor kid. Kudos to him for picking soccer
though! I played soccer growing up, and it’s a vicious sport. Even in the younger years!
When Ryan walks out to meet and greet, we also meet Billy who is his manager, and there is word
going around that a club in England is asking for Ryan to come play for them. With double
the pay with less of the extra endorsement work, it sounds like a pretty smooth gig.
After he signs a few things and takes a few pictures, his girlfriend, Elise, shows up.
What the hell would he have done if she said no? I mean, she probably would’ve
said yes because everyone is around, and once they get alone be like WTF. Still. You take a
risk with such a public proposal. Back in Russia, Lana catches Ruslan
walking into a club with a hussie, and she seems to lose her focus for a second.
Danny quickly brings her back to reality, and the two of them go on their way.
Look at these lights! This is the kind of party I need to go to.
While Ryan is partying, and Elise is showing off her new ring, Lana and Danny are developing photos
of his soccer game when Ruslan wanders in. After he puts down Danny for not having a good game,
Lana sends him to his room, and she confronts Ruslan about the woman she saw him with. Ruslan
turns it around and breaks her camera because he says she’s spying on him.
What he didn’t expect was for Danny to walk back in after he slapped Lana and push him away.
Danny is seriously my favorite character already. He’s the only one that’s got it all right.
When Ryan drives Elise back home, he gets distracted by all the fame they’re getting online,
and he veers into oncoming traffic. Before he knows what’s happening,
he rams into a car and sends his car flying. Back in Russia, Lana takes Danny and some
belongings into the car, and they pull away as Ruslan comes back from his run. He isn’t
worried about anything though. He’s assuming that they’ll be back in no time, because Lana
has never worked a day in their relationship. Then, Ryan wakes up in the hospital and sees that
his leg had to have an operation while he was out. When he sees Billy, he swears that he has
to be good enough by the playoffs so he can break the record for most goals scored in a season.
Billy mentions that he’ll have some community service, a slap on the wrist,
money to pay the AA group, and some bedrest in order to make it back in time for playoffs.
No, my friend. You are done! Look at your leg?! I’m surprised it wasn’t squeezed
off considering it was that part of the car that hit the other one head on.
Back with Lana and Danny, Lana takes him to be with her grandmother, and she questions Lana if
she really wants to leave Ruslan. As she shows her grandmother the bruises Ruslan caused her,
her mother immediately supports her decision to leave him. Lana mentions that she’s trying to get
a job, and we find out that there is an opening for a housekeeper at a local hotel, and Lana’s
mother agrees to watch Danny for her. Meanwhile, Ryan attends a press conference
to apologize to his teammates and fans because he won’t be well enough to play
the rest of the season or attend the world cup in the following year.
Lana goes to walk to her car, but she finds that it’s being towed because Ruslan wants the car
back. She tries to barter with the driver, but she doesn’t have anything worth bartering with.
As he drives off with the car in tow, she walks down the streets of St. Petersburg
until the sun sets and the snow starts. Russia has always been on my travel bucket
list. Look at it! It’s beautiful! Are there any Russians watching out there?
What place is on your travel bucket list? The next morning, Lana makes it to a lawyer that
tells her how her divorce went. It was so bad that she had to leave town, and when she came back,
her husband didn’t even recognize her. She gives her a pamphlet that shows a cruise liner that is
hiring help. That night, she goes home to explain her new job to Danny and her grandmother, and she
tells them that she’ll be gone for sex weeks. When Lana arrives on the ship, she is first put
through orientation, then she is taken to her room that she’s sharing with three other women.
That night, she begins her job as a bartender at the piano lounge section.
Meanwhile, Ryan isn’t doing too well at the dinner, and he goes outside to drink alone.
When Elise comes out to check on him, he mentions that he doesn’t think he can do
the wedding planning, and he thinks that he needs some time for himself. Elise tries to force him
into being ok with just ignoring his mind and sucking it up, and she finishes by saying that
they are getting married that summer. Ok. Sure he’s drunk, but I know plenty
of drunk people that wouldn’t have even pulled that. That was awesome,
and this can only end well of course. Sure enough, Ryan ends up on the same boat
that Lana is working on, and he gets a phone call from Billy who informs him that his contract might
be canceled and the team might sue. Yet again, Ryan is the king of dealing with problems.
If only it was that simple sometimes. I would’ve dove in after the phone once I
realized that I still owed money on it. When Lana goes back to her quarters, she finds the
girls talking about trying to get with Ryan during the trip, and one of them even mentions that TMZ
says he’s not with Elise anymore. Later on during Lana’s shift, Ryan finds his way to her bar,
and he drinks until closing. After connecting, Ryan heads off, and one
of Lana’s roommates spots him leaving. When they talk about it in their quarters,
Lana doesn’t think someone like Ryan would go out with someone like her, and when she sees him
the next morning, he’s drunk on the deck. Later that day, Ryan comes by the bar to apologize,
but Lana tries to deny his kind advances. After the two of them have a nice excursion day on
land, Ryan asks her out properly, and Lana rushes to her roommates for help getting ready.
Cue the makeover montage. I don’t know what the music is that’s playing, but for some reason,
I’m definitely digging it. After some awesome tunes, we see Lana walking up to Ryan on the pier,
and everyone is speechless. She looks like a Russian queen, and he looks like David Beckham.
I think that’s a win for everyone involved. That night, Ryan and Lana have a romantic dinner
on the beach, and they dance in each other’s arms while gazing into each other’s eyes. Eventually,
they end up lying on the beach and share their first kiss. When they wake up in the morning,
Lana realizes that she missed her roll call, and once she gets back to the boat, her boss
pulls her into his office and fires her. Once Ryan finds out what happened, he decides to
get her a suite in town, and he stays there with her until she’s able to fly back home. The next
day, Lana notices that she’s gained the attention of the other women that are staying there, and she
goes to video call her family. Her grandmother tells her that they need to talk about Ruslan,
but she won’t go into details. Later, Ryan finds his way to Lana,
and he goes to give her a romantic gesture, but she tries to turn him down.
This was some mouth breather smooching if I ever saw it. I was prepared for some more slow
action like there’s been all the way up to here, but no! Hold your breath! We’re going in!
Soon, Ryan drops Lana off at the airport, and he tries to find a way to contact her,
but she believes that they need to take the next two months to sort out their affairs.
She tells him to meet her at a location in Russia in two months, and if they’re both there,
then they know it was meant to be. As they embrace one last time,
Lana sighs a sigh of peace before separating to go back to Russia. Once back in Russia,
Lana goes home to her grandmother and Danny who are waiting to welcome her home.
Once there, Lana gives Danny an autograph that she got from Ryan,
and Danny runs to tell Rusland about it who is waiting in the other room.
Lana’s grandmother explains that Rusland has actually been spending a lot of time
with Danny over the last couple weeks. The next day, Lana goes to a hotel to interview for a job,
and the lady simply hands her a mop and a bucket. Lana starts her new job as a housekeeper,
and later, she goes to have tea with Rusland. Things have definitely taken a turn back at home,
but that doesn’t stop Lana from following through with her plan. Right after pouring them tea,
she pulls out divorce papers and sits there patiently until he snatches them.
Ruslan makes his demands about Danny and alimony, but Lana stands up for herself until he leaves her
alone. Back on Ryan’s end, he gets the good news that he is actually making a miraculous recovery,
and he might actually be able to play again soon. When he goes back home, he looks through the
pictures that Lana took from their time together, and he thinks back to that wonderful time.
Soon, Ryan sits down with the club owner and tells him that he’s going to beg him to stay
once he sees him play again, but the club owner thinks that he might be distracted
by the new woman he sees in pictures. Ryan assures them that he’s not distracted, but
he tells Bully that he has somewhere to go. Sure enough, it is the date that Lana gave him,
and Ryan is absolutely prepared to meet up with her. Meanwhile, Lana is getting
ready to go meet him, but Danny runs into some trouble with some bullies outside.
That’s a lot of blood for a little shove! Is this kid’s head made of paper?!
He wasn’t even shoved that hard! Soon, Lana hears the cries from outside,
and she rushes Danny to the hospital. It turns out that Danny is in a coma, and the doctors can’t do
anything else for him at the moment. Meanwhile, Ryan tries to wait patiently, but it’s past the
time to meet and a storm is coming in. That evening, Lana’s grandmother tells Lana
to go home while she stays with Danny, and Lana tries to hurry to the meeting spot to catch Ryan,
but she misses him by that much. We all knew that was going to happen once
Danny got knocked down, but it was literally by like four seconds! They should’ve just
exchanged emails like he wanted to before! Hey Ryan. I was definitely going to meet you,
but my son had a little case of coma come along, so I’m going to have to reschedule.
Lana in turn heads to the cathedral where she lights a candle and prays. When Ryan gets back to
his room, he seems almost angry with himself for thinking that this was a good idea. After getting
some sleep, Ryan calls down to the front desk and asks to extend his stay for some time.
That was the first thought that popped into my head. I think there was probably
a better way to word that question, but he gets props for staying to find her.
I thought he was just going to pack it up and head back to his normal life for a while.
Ryan wanders the streets of St. Petersburg as he tries to figure out another way to find her,
but it seems like he might be running out of motivation. As Ryan takes a cab to the airport,
he has the cab take a detour to the arena where the soccer team plays.
Meanwhile, Lana gets some good news about Danny’s MRI, and it turns out
that the swelling has gone down enough for the doctors to treat him. Back with Ryan,
he tries to talk to the team coach there to find out information about Danny, but he realizes that
he doesn’t have a last name or anything else. As Ryan gets ready to leave, he notices that
the pro team is going to the hospital to do the make a wish foundation, and a nurse notices Ryan
immediately. She takes him to go see Danny, and she introduces him as his biggest fan. Ryan ends
up inviting Danny to a game in LA, and the doctor motions for him to come out of the room.
When Ryan goes to sign his soccer ball, he finds the autograph he gave Lana,
and he asks Danny what his mother’s name is. Once he realizes that this is the Danny
he’s been looking for, he asks Danny where his mother might be, and he chases after her.
This man is running around Russia as though he knows where he’s going. Danny simply mentioned
‘the bridge’ and ‘the metro’ like everyone knows where he’s talking about.
Ryan is a tourist! Is it that easy to spot THE bridge in Russia?
Sure enough, Ryan catches up to Lana, but she’s on the other side of a drawbridge that is going up.
He almost gives up, but in a last attempt to be with her,
he jumps the gap and kisses her immediately. After that, we cut to Ryan preparing to go out
onto the pitch for the World Cup. The announcers talk about how his career is on the line,
but Ryan seems unphased by everything going on around him. When he looks up to Lana, Danny,
and the grandmother, we see that Lana is actually pregnant now.
Once the game kicks off, Ryan ends up having a tough time getting into the swing of things again,
but with a little support from his teammates, he finds his groove and ends up scoring for team USA.
He proves to his team and himself that he’s not quite finished yet. With a lasting look to Lana,
he runs back out to the field to keep playing. As cheesy and ridiculous this movie was at times,
I actually really enjoyed it. I laughed for all the right and wrong reasons,
and somehow it worked and gave the movie some campy, feel good vibes. Give it a shot!
