Margot Hayes (Emma Roberts) and Griffin Reed (Thomas Mann) may well be the perfect couple. The only trouble is they've never met and they're both about to tie the knot with someone else. But all that is about to change when fate places them in each other's lives and opens their eyes to true love.

This was a excellent romantic comedy movie. Acting was great and story was very good. I hope it makes it to all theatres as it really is a great movie!! Everyone should see it.

Very good for a rom com. What I think people don't understand is that this genre is probably the hardest ever to be good since it's been done a million times over. You have to like rom coms and be in the mood. But I thought this one was a hit rather than a miss.

This movie was so cute! Griffin and Margot have the craziest meet cute (I guess, technically, their second meeting) and things get crazier from there. It's a feel good rom com for sure, I'll add this to my list of feel good movies.

Lots of really stupid parts. The orange candel scene. The use of ubers, clearly no one involved in the production of the film is familiar with how ubers work. The lost boot, the last minute veil pickup and closed bridal store. The unnecessary wedding planner chic. The ridiculous amount of love for Kip at the wedding. Wedding picture scene. The scene where the wedding stops for the story on how they met. Guess no one involved in the movie was ever at a wedding either. Seriously dumb, dumb scenes. I honestly don't recommend the movie.

Despite the off-putting blandness of its poster, soundtrack, and set-up, About Fate proves surprisingly charming.

It would all be pretty boilerplate, but Mann’s anchoring appeal — his lean into Griffin’s modesty and decency — saves the movie from a sorrier fate.

TheWrap

The women are nuts, the men are clueless and the production is so cheap you could pass the time spotting every mistake no one bothered to fix.

In Review Online

For a romantic comedy, About Fate is about as generic a title as they come, and it certainly matches the film that follows, a predictable slice of milquetoast pap that would feel snug at home on any basic cable network or streaming service.

Common Sense Media

Though this isn't the sort of romcom moviegoers are likely to turn to year after year for comfort and joy, it's worth a watch to see the cast and the funny wedding sequence in the third act.

Rated: 3/5

Cultured Vultures

The tragedy here is that About Fate won't have as much traction as any of those inane Netflix holiday rom-coms, when it's precisely the kind of movie we rom-com lovers deserve.

Rated: 7.5/10
