The latest Colleen Hoover adaptation, Regretting You, officially opened in theaters on October 24, 2025, following in the footsteps of Hoover’s wildly successful It Ends With Us. While that earlier film became a cultural phenomenon and box office hit, Regretting You is drawing a more divided response—critically and commercially.
Regretting You was shot across Georgia, joining the growing list of major film adaptations choosing the state for its diverse locations and film-friendly infrastructure. The romantic drama stars Dave Franco, Mckenna Grace, Allison Williams, and Mason Thames, bringing Hoover’s emotional story of love, loss, and betrayal to life on screen.

A Story of Love, Grief, and Forgiveness
Based on Hoover’s best-selling novel, Regretting You follows a mother and daughter whose relationship is tested by tragedy and infidelity. As they navigate heartbreak and resentment, both are forced to confront painful truths about love, family, and forgiveness.
Critics Divided, Audiences Invested
Though fans of the author turned out in full force, critics were far less enthusiastic. The film currently holds a 27% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, with some reviewers questioning whether it signals fatigue in the wave of Hoover-inspired adaptations. One critic even wondered aloud if this could mark the end of the trend entirely.
Audiences, however, had a very different reaction. Regretting You boasts an impressive 86% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes’ Popcornmeter and earned a solid B grade from CinemaScore, suggesting that Hoover’s fanbase continues to show up—no matter what the critics say.
