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.

It's definitely over-rated. I found it superficial and mediocre. The cast was meh and the story wasn't quite original. Just another not so funny rom-com. I shed a few tears but not because of the greatness of the movie but because of the timing.

It takes a special movie to make St. Elmo's Fire look like a classic. Someone Great follows three insufferable intersectional millennials as they squander their 20s pursuing hedonistic pleasures and dead-end relationships. I imagine a movie that checked in on them 10 years later would be very depressing indeed. This could be seen as a cautionary tale if the movie didn't seem to agree with these horrendous characters' worldview. The values depicted in this movie are the inverse of what would be adaptive for society or leading a good life. Almost every joke fell flat and nearly every line of dialog made me cringe, and I felt embarrassed for the actors.

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

Someone Great certainly lives up to its title.

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.
