A.J. Fikry's wife has died, his bookstore is in trouble, and now his prized rare edition of Poe poems has been stolen. However, when a mysterious package appears, its arrival gives him the chance to start his life over and see things anew.

The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry is not perfect, but it certainly hits all of the marks every romantic comedy should. The chemistry between A.J. and Amelia is sweet, awkward, and real. It has its comedic relief in solemn scenes, and hard-hitting moments of heavy emotion. The film starts off slowly, but eventually it does pick up speed. The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry is an enjoyable watch that preaches an important message: take chances, because you never know where life will take you. – JoshattheMovies
