When the romantic hero with a lung disease explains why he's wooing the object of his affection with urgent fervor, he says, "Time is not something I have." Yet as the film unfurls, time passes all too slowly, creating a palatable impatience among viewers to get to the point. There's little that works here: The script is amateur, the acting feels forced, and the direction tries to push emotion on the audience, but it's not genuinely felt. The filmmakers' hearts are in the right place in telling this story, but the disconnected execution makes this syrupy romance with a message difficult to watch.

Jorge aggressively woos his future wife with riches and luxury, flying all over the world to surprise her, behavior that some may see as stalkerish rather than affectionate. The movie portrays relationships and characters in a way that reinforces gender stereotypes: It's love at first sight for the men, who then pursue the women relentlessly. A couple of curse words are said, including "f-k" and "goddammit." The other relationship is between modern-day college students Chris and Sam ( Jacob Elordi and Tiera Skovbye), who come together through volunteer work. Drinking and cigar smoking crop up regularly in their storyline, and they're shown in bed together having an implied after-sex conversation (sensitive body parts are covered by a sheet). The first, in the 1970s, involves wealthy Cuban-born rum executive Jorge ( Adan Canto) and flight attendant Leslie ( Radha Mitchell). Adapted loosely from Eric Gregory's nonfiction book All My Tomorrows, it follows the evolution of two romances with themes related to illness, death, grief, and hope. Parents need to know that 2 Hearts is a romantic mystery based on real events that finds a positive outcome from tragedy.
