Critics Consensus

Plus One reinvigorates the rom-com with an entertaining outing elevated by well-matched leads and a story that embraces and transcends genre clichés.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

A lack of originality is compensated for by charm and committed performances in this sweetly beguiling revamp of the Four Weddings formula.

Rated: 4/5

Observer (UK)

Erskine, with her earthy chuckle and precision-tooled comic timing, is the real discovery here. She's a smutty, sniggering joy in the role and I can't wait to see what she does next.

Rated: 4/5

Everything is Horrible (Substack)

Plus One loves the spectacle of love, but it’s not clear it really loves Alice and Ben, or wants to take the time to get us to love them.

I consider Plus One to be the most underrated rom-com of the last five years.

One of the best films I saw at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, Plus One is a delightfully charming summer romcom, the type that seems to be disappearing in theaters and thriving on streaming services.

Terrible, crass, no chemistry, made no sense why the characters would “fall” for each other. Boring, tired storyline, don’t waste your time. We quit with 50 minutes left

Now that is the kind of rom-coms I like, slightly miserable and funny and with Maya Erskine's lemony quirkiness. Jack Quaid is also good.

The friendship dynamics that leads to them getting involved is really spot on - but when it comes to their relationship, it feels like the writers dropped the ball as to what was making this duo click and work. Most of the actors are really good, the photography is nice. One of the problem of the movie is that it really lacks a woman's perspective when it comes to relationships, which makes for the usual problematic mix of a movie mainly targeted at female audiences blotted with male blind-spots everywhere. It's still more than watchable, even though the last act feels strained.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This movie’s pretty cute and funny, especially thanks to Maya Erskine. She’s great. The story's a bit reductionist in how it paints commitment issues as if they aren't the collection of many parts of self, but are simply "my parents got divorced so I'm afraid of getting divorced too." Sure, that's part of it, but we humans are far more complex than that. But yeah, it's a comedy, so it doesn't have to be much more than it was and it still feels authentic enough that it doesn’t drag the whole thing down. And of course there's the classic “white guy screws up, has immature views on love, then crawls back to win the girl” trope, but hey, it’s a rom-com, tropes abound. I'm coming down harder on it in this review than reflects my enjoyment of it; it does what it’s supposed to do. Cute and funny.
