Our take
People We Meet on Vacation is an M Netflix rom-com about best friends Poppy and Alex revisiting summers together to see whether love fits. Expect sex talk, condom references, skinny-dipping nudity, wine and cigarettes on trips, plus one f-word outburst. A bear-attack story and a funeral memory add brief darker beats. The warm chemistry and travel nostalgia suit teens who enjoy book-to-screen romance.
