Critics Consensus

Its charming stars notwithstanding, the middling Meet Cute offers little to set itself apart in the ever-more-crowded "time loop romcom" subgenre.

Stephen Romei The Australian This is an entertaining movie with fine performances by the two stars. The post-credits out takes, which show how the date pans out on different nights, is worth waiting for... Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 9, 2022 Full Review Jordan Hoffman AV Club [A] failure. Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Michael Nordine Variety Should we actually be rooting for this romance to work, given both the deception and obsession behind it? Cuoco keeps us wondering, but the answers don’t quite satisfy. Sep 24, 2022 Full Review Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community The real heart of the [Meet Cute], the reason to watch it, is what it says about relying on someone else to say you, the fear of the unknown, and learning how to live. Apr 6, 2023 Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review The pitch here should’ve been an entirely easy sell, but conflicting genre tones, characters we never entirely understand, and a “message” that feels drastically hollow result in this meet cute being anything but. Rated: 2/5 Dec 2, 2022 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Lehmann’s film, though visually arresting, is a bit of a mess at times. However, if this romcom teaches us anything, it’s that it’s okay for things to be a mess sometimes Rated: 4/5 Nov 21, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Matthew B Like 50 first dates for mentally ill people. The beginning definitely feels like a bad movie, but after a while, I started to really enjoy it. And even relate to it in a really deep way that I didn't expect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Richard B The worst of the Groundhog Day movies where things repeat ad nauseum. I was on an otherwise fantastic date, so had to sit through the film. It caused me physical pain to sit through this. Kaley Cuoco is fantastic in so many things, but not this absolute crock. Terrible writing, terrible acting, no chemistry between the main characters. The plot would be predictable if they had mediocre script writers, this film is unpredictable because it fails to live up to mediocrity. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Dylan B Honestly this movie was hilarious and teaches an honest lesson that "Love/mental health is Messy, and that's okay" there were also touches of generational trauma included. I understand there were some weird plot holes but they didn't need to be explained the movie was much more fun to just have random unexplainable aspects. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Chelsea A Not the stereotypical rom-com that I was expecting, but it was so much more. It squeezed what it means to be in a long term relationship into a movie and did it in a creative way we haven't seen before. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to see raw emotions and struggles represented in a movie. If you're looking for a Hallmark love story, this ain't it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Jack S Surprisingly well-crafted and clever sci-fi rom com, with a darker quirkier indie aesthetic than I was expecting. Kaley Cuoco's acting is deeper than I've ever seen it. A nice allegory of a struggling relationship. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review ryan w It's mind bobbling how this film isn't 5/5 stars. I think the issue lies with peoples expectations of Pete Davidson. He's a gem in this film, but this is not a laugh out loud comedy - Andy Samberg's Palm Springs comes to mind. This is darker with touching on the subject of suicide and loneliness - two issues become more endemic in our world. Both Pete and Kaley are on point and Kaley's range is broad beyond Bing Bang. They have a natural connection and their portrayal of complex relationship matters isn't stressed or overly done. This film is heavily character driven and all actors shine. The timing is perfect and the film pivots at the right moments driving the story further, but not overcomplicating the story. The film is shot with long takes, some quick cuts, and close ups at night. The director allows the shadows to bleed through and the atmosphere is raw and dark allowing reflecting the complexities of the characters. I don't often write a review for a film, but after seeing the rating this film received I am shocked. All involved it's production have to know this was a great film and I would add this to status of Indie cult classic up there on equal footing as Empire Records and The Two Night Stand. I think this film suffered from the connotation people likely had when hearing Pete Davidson and the title which although slang, is absolutely terrible. Give this film a chance, it's worth every minute! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
