There’s really nothing to see here, just another synthetic simulation of a film and a genre we used to love, less maintenance required and more complete overhaul.

Rated: 1/5

Come for the rom com, but stick around for Petsch, O’Brian and Bailey, a fun trio that turns out to be the only essential tools Maintenance Required to be an entertaining movie.

The wan and charmless Maintenance Required stalls out before it even gets out of its parking spot, he said, kicking the jack out from under the car so it falls on him, crushing his skull.

Ultimately the title says it all. Maintenance was required, but not performed. Perhaps next time if you are going to check out the Shop Around The corner, just watch the classic this film has dumbed down for Gen Z.

It's a classic story that just works. It is entertaining and these two are really charismatic together

More contrived than endearing, this millennial romantic comedy offers only the slightest variation on well-worn genre tropes.

Where is the comedy? Where is the romance? The actresses are great in previous roles, but this movie didn't do their talent any justice. I had high hopes for this movie and ended up bored beyond my mind. The only character I found remotely entertaining is the plant lover friend. Other than that, no chemistry between the lead and supporting actors. Such a long and awkward movie.

Obviously this was going to be formulaic but it doesn't even achieve the basic level of entertainment of any of the previous movies it's copying.

I’m pretty sure the whole point of this movie is to show how well the actors are doing in the gym.

Honestly, there was no build up to them getting together and honestly I should have known when we seen her nipples in the beginning that this was going to be a low budget film, this was the longest movie for no apparent reason especially because we really didn’t get any character development between them two at all and it was a waist of a film, to be honest we only watched it because he is Sexy, overall the movie sucked and I don’t recommend any one to waist there time watching it.

I'm so tired of new movies that are just basically rewrites of old movies. Watch the movie "you've got mail" with Meg Ryan and Tom hanks, the similarities are just to loud to ignore! We want some originality. PLEASE!

Genuinely one of the best romcoms that I've seen in years! The movie wasn't perfect but no romcom ever is, but it was a solid feel good movie with great characters. The writing was average but the performance from the actors and main duo's chemistry made up for it.
