Aline Dolinh Bitch Media The film's funny, contemporary, and uniquely tender take on the friends-to-lovers formula is further bolstered by its cultural specificity. Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) I thoroughly enjoyed this perfectly lovely little romantic comedy. Oct 1, 2019 Full Review Kimber Myers The Playlist This literal LOL-filled film from sitcom showrunner Nahnatchka Khan doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does provide a genuinely sweet, truly funny film that is sure to be watched and rewatched on many Saturday afternoons on the couch in pajamas. Rated: B+ Jul 26, 2019 Full Review Kevin Bourne SHIFTER “Always Be My Maybe” is a barrier-breaking film centered around an Asian American couple. It's entertaining from start to finish and is one of the better romantic comedies we’ve seen in recent years. Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies If you’re hungry for anything deeper or more original you’re probably not going to leave satisfied. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Carolyn Hinds But Why Tho? A Geek Community It was a joy to see this side of Keanu, and I hope we get to see more of it in future films. Rated: 8.5/10 Jul 30, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Tony H Loved this movie! The story moves at a great pace with enough room for the humor and mutual affection to show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/06/19 Full Review charlotte t this movie was weird, witty and quite the laugh. the details of Marcus and Sasha doing the same things in different ways, Veronica and Mr Kim's involvement (and Keanu Reeves- for some reason?) along with a very enjoyable soundtrack, all makes this serve as an unique take on love and the complexity of a friends to strangers to lovers timeline. also, really loved the band! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Calvin O This movie came in handy, I liked the way they act, 🤣😁 it was fun Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review M G I did chuckle at a few moments and the characters were likable, but overall all the moments that seem like they should have been or were meant to be lighthearted and funny were just angry and depressing. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review DennisFeinstein08 A really fun, feel good type of movie... The soundtrack is a BANGER too 👌 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Carlos A Nada especial. Me reí en varias ocasiones, pero la historia es muy repetida y predecible 100%. No la recomendaría a nadie para ver. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
