Critics Consensus

Though Simone Ashley brings her undeniable talent to Picture This, it strains to find any sense of rom-com charm, settling for limp humor, paint-by-numbers character arcs, and a formulaic glow that feels overly engineered.

Like many an app date, it’s neither offensive nor memorable -- a drop in the bucket, one in an algorithmic sea of many.

Sweet, silly and sincere, director Prarthana Mohan’s spin has a clear understanding of what makes its source material revelatory and resonant.

“Picture This” fades the instant the credits roll, and that obvious wedding dance sequence we’ve come to expect comes rolling along, just as manufactured, just as planned.

Perhaps the joy of self discovery is more rewarding when not bombarded with pervasive failure. I want more for Simone Ashley in the future. I hope this doesn’t hold her back.

With South Asian women in front and behind the camera, “Picture This” is the type of representation we love, even if the film is imperfect.

I thoroughly enjoyed “Picture Perfect” and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an insightful yet funny romantic comedy to escape into.

Just watched since I have a prime account trial. I don't know much about British Indian culture since I'm a 1st gen in the US and didn't have Indian friends in the UK when I lived there. Wasn't sure how relatable it was. But, probably could have done better with a culture consultant. Her character doesn't have depth and the backstory of her and Charlie is underdeveloped and they don't have much screen time together due to all the sub plots. Had potential, but wouldn't watch it again. It also seems odd to make a short outing to look at jewelry at a safe deposit box. My mother probably would have presented something like that to me at home.

In an hard-to-find good movie library, i found this to be a pleasant surprise. An easy watching, real life similar rom com that was the perfect length and well worth a watch. If it came back on again in passing i’d watch again.

It’s definitely not a bad movie, but it’s neither a memorable one. Much better though than most of the recent rom-coms. On the positive side, it is a comfortable, sweet, predictable love movie, and Simone Ashley is stealing the spotlight from everyone else. The scenery is like it came out of a Pinterest board and the atmosphere seemed effortless most of the time. On the negative side, some moments were not funny, but cringe and the chemistry of the two lead characters was not always there, to the point where it was difficult to process how they fell in love with each other all over again. Some of the background characters, like Lily were forgettable to the point where I couldn’t remember who they were two scenes later. I would definitely re-watch it though in the future and I would enjoy it like the first time

the lack of chemistry of the leads made me wonder if they secretly are in love with each other.
