The movie follows a lovesick musician played by Spike Fearn, whose life takes an unexpected turn after he receives the wrong phone number from a mysterious girl he instantly connected with during a night out in Manchester. Desperate to track down his dream girl, he joins forces with an ambitious psychology student, portrayed by Angourie Rice. What starts as a simple search soon spirals into a hilarious campus-wide frenzy filled with misunderstandings, emotional confusion, and unexpected feelings.
As the trailer unfolds, viewers get a glimpse of the film’s playful energy and awkward romantic tension. While Spike Fearn’s character remains obsessed with finding the elusive Emily, Sami — the smart and determined psychology student helping him — slowly begins developing feelings of her own. The result is a sweet yet chaotic love triangle packed with humorous situations, emotional moments, and coming-of-age drama that feels tailor-made for fans of modern rom-coms.
Directed by British filmmaker Alicia MacDonald and written by Rachel Hirons, Finding Emily appears to embrace the classic romantic comedy formula while adding a fresh Gen Z twist. The supporting cast includes Minnie Driver, Ella Maisy Purvis, Yali Topol Margalith, Kat Ronney, Timothy Innes, and Nadia Parkes, bringing extra personality and humor to the lively university setting.
The trailer’s tagline, “Looking for love… finding chaos,” perfectly captures the spirit of the film. With its mix of goofy misunderstandings, heartfelt chemistry, and feel-good storytelling, Finding Emily could become one of the standout romantic comedies of 2026. Early reactions online are already praising the film’s charming vibe, relatable awkwardness, and the natural chemistry between Angourie Rice and Spike Fearn.
If the trailer is anything to go by, audiences can expect a fun, messy, and emotionally satisfying ride when Finding Emily arrives in theatres later this summer.
