The most daring thing about “Missed Connections,” a chaste social media romance from the Philippines, is the conclusion it comes to.

Maybe social media isn’t the cure for dating ills and loneliness that it’s made out to be. No, it’s that’s not exactly a hot take. And this spineless, often insipid screenplay kind of walks back from that.

But considering how lifeless, charmless and predictably pointless everything that’s come before it is, that’s a straw we’ll grasp, if only for a moment.

This Around the World with Netflix rom-com is about 20somethings missing and then misconnecting via an app. They’re in their mid-20s, but the movie about their “relationship” might be deemed junior high juvenile in much of the rest of the world. Not every Filipino film has to have an edge, but come on.

Mae (Miles Ocampo) is a fresh-faced custom t-shirt maker trying to make a go of it despite being disorganized, unfocused and perhaps even a tad lazy. We meet her as she’s laying another excuse on a customer, and finally just giving up and telling him off.

Mae is self-absorbed and lonely, desperate for a boyfriend but so lost in her phone that she barely notices the cute guy (Kelvin Miranda) she brusquely treats as an employee at the supermarket. But notice him she does, and gushing and batting her eyes she basically runs through a low-comedy silent cinema repertoire of “female and thirsty” “indicators to impress him before he leaves the store.

He seems too polite to tell the annoying chatterbox with the stringy, Garfield-orange hair he’s not interested.

But she posts an inquiry about the “Mister Green” she missed paying back for the muffin he inadvertantly treated her to at the cash register on this “Missed Connections” app — a PG-rated Grindr for tracking down someone you might have “had a moment” with, but not long enough to get a name, number or actually to confirm interest.

Sure enough, there he is, a guy looking for “Grocery Girl.” It’s only when they actually meet for lunch that she realizes it wasn’t her he was looking for. That doesn’t discourage Needy Mae or warn off Too-Polite “Norman” before he finds himself coming home with her…to redesign her website and help her rethink her business.

He’s a neat freak, especially when comes to plates and eating utensils. She’s an inveterate procrastinator and slob. Is she a hoarder?

“Things hold memoires only the owner can see” (in Filipino with subtitles, or dubbed). That’s basically another warning sign Norman ignores.

One thing he’s not too polite to do is to insist on meeting the woman he was looking for in the first place, a gorgeous influencer (Chienna Filomeno) and hair salon owner — organized, ambitious and easy on the eyes.

Mae doesn’t listen to her aunt’s advice about caution, and ignores her pesky ex (JC Santos), who isn’t in her life but is so in her head that he’s always popping up to warn her, when he’s not teasing and taunting her about “He’s just going to leave you like everybody else.”

Mae becomes a stalker, and worse. Social media doesn’t just build people up. It can tear them down.

The dialogue is sickeningly cutesie, with Ocampo vamping “I’m looking for a partner, if you’re interested” lines about her business to ensure Norman can’t miss how INTERESTED she is in not being alone.

The acting is broad, the messaging is demure and conservative, about “things that we’re unable to let go of” and the “two types of women” in the world.

“There are women to be taken seriously, and women to be taken for a ride.”

Whatever cultural mores “Missed Connections” is operating under, there aren’t many parts of the world where this tepid, tame adults-flirting-like-tweens rom-com will be seen as romantic or comic.
