Critics Consensus

What Someone Great lacks in originality it makes up for in relatability and charm, thanks in large part to the undeniable chemistry between its talented leads.

Netflix's romantic comedy Someone Great is extremely of this time, a sugar rush that adds a millennial gloss to genre tropes.

A fluffy romp with a sobering truth: relationships and your twenties may end, but neither signals the end of the world.

Fulfills and advances the promise of earlier, feminist shows, giving us a new set of women that better reflect what the world and New York actually look like.

What works about Someone Great is that it manages to separate those two meaningful kinds of relationships and highlights them without pitting them against each other.

A stealth anti-romcom, Someone Great is Netflix's latest contribution to the genre's women-led resurgence.

Awful movie - no plot whatsoever. So boring barely could make it through. Skip it!

I did not enjoy this movie whatsoever. I feel like it had absolutely no plot at all. The only reason it gets a star is because of the songs played throughout the movie. Also because I love Gina Rodriguez.

Boring. I honestly don't get why a lot of ppl like it. Throughout the movie nothing happens even if is supposed to be a movie about change.

A well delivered break up movie, entertaining and funny, but it portrays greatly the roller coaster the main character is into.

What did I just watch (it’s not even over). chat, who produced this. who invested their money into it? The actors are like good (with an exception) but it just like- the script, the random fast motion, the zoom in on the weird boyfriend’s butt clench? I honestly just watched all of it to hate watch, like I got a bad vibe five minutes in. I am so sorry universe. I am usually not this negative or leave hate comments like this, but I just need to put this into the universe because holy freak what did i just watch… I am so sorry again </3 I seriously feel so baddddd but this is cathartic and part of my healing journey. Peace and love to those involved in the making of this movie, but encountering professional failure builds character.
