Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter It Had to Be You ultimately demonstrates enough cleverness and inventiveness to make it more than a by-the-book entry in a genre that's become more than a little stale. Oct 25, 2016 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Cristin Milioti is so quirkily endearing in the lead role that she makes it easy to just go with the airy tale. Oct 20, 2016 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times A memorable romantic comedy that stands to bring back the genre's good name, "It Had to Be You" is as funny, endearing and enjoyably off-kilter as its adorable star, Cristin Milioti. Oct 20, 2016 Full Review Simi Horwitz Film Journal International This silly romantic comedy may find an audience among the 30-something crowd but will make little sense to anybody else.

sarah j Christin Milioti makes any movie better. A very real and quirky romantic comedy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I couldn't even get through ten minutes of this movie. Not a good sign when the first scene shows the main character on the toilet. Ugh, just no.... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Quirky and adorable. There were lots of tears and a lot of laughs along the way. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not one for Romantic Comedies in general, find them all too similar, but I really enjoyed IT HAD TO BE YOU. As a young woman, I definitely think this taps into most people my age's psyche: do I really want to spend the rest of my life with this person, am I settling, is my partner settling? It's an extremely honest look into relationships and dating in the 21st century. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Cristin Milioti is so quirkily endearing in the lead role that she makes it easy to just go with the airy tale.
