Always Be My Maybe is a 2019 American romantic comedy film directed by Nahnatchka Khan, starring Ali Wong and Randall Park as "two childhood friends who find themselves in vastly different socioeconomic situations when they fall in love as adults."[1] The film was released in select theaters on May 29, 2019, and on May 31, 2019, on Netflix.

Sasha and Marcus are two childhood friends who grow up next door to each other in San Francisco. As Sasha's parents regularly leave her home alone while they tend to their store, Marcus' parents often have her over for dinner, where she greatly enjoys Marcus' mother's home cooking. Eventually Sasha and Marcus form a close friendship that carries on into their teenage years that is only broken when Sasha sleeps with Marcus in order to try and comfort him after his mother dies in an accident. A wedge is driven between the two when they get into an argument shortly afterwards and they eventually drift apart.

Years later Sasha has become a highly successful chef living in Los Angeles while Marcus still lives and works with his widowed father and performs in a talented but largely unsuccessful band that only plays in his local neighbourhood. Briefly moving back to San Francisco in order to oversee the opening of a new restaurant, Sasha is reunited with Marcus when he and his father are hired to install air conditioning at Sasha's new home. Despite initial friction, they quickly reconnect and become friends again. After a disastrous double date with Marcus' girlfriend and actor Keanu Reeves, to whom Sasha reveals that she has always had a crush on Marcus, Sasha and Marcus begin seeing each other. However, when Sasha asks Marcus to leave San Francisco behind and follow her to New York in order to open another restaurant, Marcus steadfastly refuses. Sasha leaves San Francisco alone.

Owing to insight from his father and his bandmates, Marcus comes to realize that the death of his mother has made him scared to move on in life, and he moves out of his childhood home and makes steps to make his band more successful. Discovering that Sasha has been secretly supporting his musical ambitions, Marcus surprises Sasha on the red carpet at an awards show in Manhattan, pledging that he will be there wherever she will be. Sasha opens her New York restaurant, which is named after and pays tribute to Marcus' late mother, while Marcus writes a song about punching Keanu Reeves.
