Frantic and flagrantly formulaic, this forced farce about a sham engagement sacrifices plot credibility and character motivation for stale humor and cheap setups.

Common Sense Media

Funny romcom has lots of sex, profanity, some drinking.

Rated: 3/5

Cinemalogue

The approach is broad and the story is predictable as the contrivances far outnumber the laughs.

Film Journal International

This mildly if not wildly amusing rom-com brings up one big question: If you pretend to be someone, will that identity wrap around you and claim you?

One Small Hitch should have settled on being a cute but insipid romantic comedy. By emphasizing a lead character who does nothing more than play into a wedding fantasy in hopes that a frog will turn into her prince is ultimately more tragic than comic.

Rated: 4.3/10

For a first time filmmaker, did a great job from limited budget. Look at films in context of studio vs Indie

I love rom-coms, even really corny, predictable, cheesy ones. My standards are pretty low when it comes to Rom-coms but this movie was just horrible. Like okay, they have a fake engagement and as soon as you think they're falling in love he starts randomly banging some other woman and even acts like he feels bad about it, but of course he keeps doing it anyway. Even after he sleeps with the woman he's fake engaged to, he doesn't cut things off with this other woman. If the aim of this movie is to make you hate this guy then they succeeded. There's nothing romantic or endearing about this storyline at all. If she married this guy he would just cheat on her.

I really liked it. It was cute, romantic and just a fun movie. Actors did a good job and although it's not a blockbuster lol it is a cute movie to watch.

I really enjoyed this movie from start to finish. The characters were likeable and the "situations" kept me smiling. I found the professional reviews a bit irritating in their pomposity. Of course this movie is formulaic and of course I knew what would happen from the moment I read the plot summary. That is the whole idea of situation comedies.
