Although unmemorable plot-wise, it is Sebastian Croft and Charithra Chandran who make a dent in your heart with their sincere and youthful portrayal of their characters in this YA romance film.

Rated: 2.5/5

Common Sense Media

This fusion of tropes and ideas already seen in series like Sex Education, Never Have I Ever, and Heartstopper never gels despite its two promising leads.

Through the mess, only the likeable Chandran retains her dignity.

The central characters are meant to be someone viewers can root for, but it is hard to feel anything towards Archie because there’s nothing special about him.

Cultured Vultures

How to Date Billy Walsh attempts to be this generation's answer to John Hughes' Some Kind of Wonderful. It doesn't succeed, but it does entertain in a superficial way.

Rated: 6/10

Awful. Looks beautiful, talented cast. Everybody trying too hard, with a truly deplorable script and plot. Just one cliché after another. And the constant breaking the fourth wall just doesn't work.

I love the main actress, she is so slay, but this movie is absolute dog water garbage. I love cheesy rom coms but the tropes and the way the best friend treats her, I can’t. Billy was a decent guy, I didn’t even want to watch to the end it was so garbage.
