What is Love, Rosie About?
Based on the 2004 novel Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie follows our two likable protagonists Alex (Sam Claflin) and Rosie (Lily Collins) as the course of their lives changes following an incident that happened on Rosie’s eighteenth birthday.
Despite being childhood friends, Alex has always wanted something more but isn’t sure Rosie feels the same. And his doubts are seemingly confirmed on that night.
Rosie has always dreamed of owning her own hotel and moves to Boston to study hotel management, while Alex is accepted into Harvard University. Though their lives take different paths, Alex and Rosie stay in touch and begin new relationships.
Leading somewhat messy lives, Alex and Rosie navigate breakups and tragedy. However, they’ve been there for each other through the highs and lows of life. Despite their bond, they fail to express how they truly feel, dealing with miscommunication, bad timing, and unspoken emotions.
Lily Collins and Sam Claflin give heartfelt performances and share great on-screen chemistry.
While the plot relies on some well-worn romantic tropes—missed chances and unrequited love—the film’s light-hearted and the characters make it enjoyable. And if you’re in the mood for a feel-good experience and heartwarming rom-com, you should definitely give Love, Rosie a chance.
The film’s cast includes Lily Collins as Rosie Dunne and Sam Claflin as Alex Stewart. Other notable members include Christian Cooke as Greg, Tamsin Egerton as Sally, and Jaime Winstone as Ruby. The film also features a supporting cast with Lily Laight, Art Parkinson, and others.

Lily Collins and Sam Claflin on their roles in Love, Rosie
In interviews promoting Love, Rosie, both Sam Claflin and Lily Collins both spoke openly about their roles and the film’s themes.
Claflin described his character, Alex, as a dreamer with a plan, but drew personal parallels between his life and Alex’s decisions. He told Teen Vogue: “I’ve never played a character so close to home—there are so many parallels between our two lives. Every decision Alex Stewart makes in this movie is one I probably would have made at that time for one reason or another. He’s a dreamer, but at the same time he’s a man with a plan.”
Meanwhile Lily said: “What I love the most about Rosie is the fact that she seems so fragile and delicate, but she’s so strong and resilient.
She added: “I really admire the fact that I finally found this character who gets to be a young mom and portrays teen pregnancy in a way that’s positive and inspiring as opposed to this negative turn that reality TV has taken.”
