The first line of the 2025 movie Oh, Hi! is the title itself. And that immediately got things right in my favor, both because I appreciated how it fulfilled an implicit promise and because one of my favorite films of all time is famous for its frequency of characters greeting each other.
Anyway, in case you haven’t seen it, Oh, Hi! stars Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman as Iris and Isaac, a couple of fresh-eyed lovebugs on a romantic weekend getaway in a rental house. Everything seems to be going perfectly, especially when they stumble upon the owners’ S&M gear and decide to have some kinky sex. But then Isaac reveals that he doesn’t want to actually be exclusive, so Iris keeps him handcuffed to the bed indefinitely until she can make him definitively fall in love with her.
I bet a lot of modern daters have found themselves in a situation a lot like this one! Maybe it’s a bit of an exaggeration from reality, but the clear and immediate stakes nevertheless paint a template for anyone to practice how they might handle this scenario. Important things to keep in mind: Iris certainly takes things too far, but Isaac does do plenty of things that would seem to indicate he’s ready for a committed relationship. It’s a good idea to be prepared, and Oh, Hi! is here to help you get there.
