Critics Consensus

Cheap-looking and tonally confused, One True Loves wastes an interesting premise on a romantic comedy that largely lacks love and laughs.

Phil Hoad

Guardian

There is little payoff, with Fickman running shy of the full-blooded commitment to make his film a proper weepie and instead constantly reverting to sassy, annoyingly self-aware comedy that makes light of everything.

Rated: 2/5

Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

The movie has the general shape of a comedy, but any laughs are largely unintentional.

Stumbles even as a piece of Hallmark sappiness.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Despite some good acting, One True Loves does not feel believable: the complexities of the situation and nuances of the characters are lost in a mediocre script with a conflict that ends up feeling artificial and forced

Rated: 2.5/5

The Asian Cut

One Trues Loves tries — perhaps too hard — to be a timeless love story, but where nuance is needed to pull audiences in, it instead chooses melodrama.

Rated: 4/10

the book is always better! I love the movie, but not as much as I thought I would. the scenes were great BUT the dialogs weren't there. I think the movie also moved too fast! but overall I loved it!

Tonally inept (lurches between attempts at romantic comedy and soppy drama), and does nothing well... it took half a dozen production companies to get together to make this forgettable mess.

The movie does not make justice to the book. Overall, a really bad movie. There is no chimestry between the leads and the characters do not propertly portrait the description within the book. Hated Sam throught the whole, totally ruins what is expected form the book.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Something was off idk what it is exactly but something's wrong. Is it the acting? (could be) The production? ( obviously) the writing? (it wasn't terrible but there was some things that wouldn't make sense.)

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
