Carolyn Hinds Mediaversity Reviews The perfect rom-com balances the tingling excitement of love at first blush with the more serious elements of a relationship once the “honeymoon phase” has ended. Rated: 5/5 Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Cole Groth FandomWire Worth the Wait is ultimately worth the watch because of its simplicity. Rated: 6/10 Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views “Worth the Wait” is a streaming movie that should be a family-friendly, safe network evening drama, but it needs to slow down and take its time to develop the characters. It is not enough to have a wealth of talent. May 23, 2025 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee Lin recruits an impressive lineup of actors for a Tubi original and mostly leaves them adrift, with stock romantic scenarios that play out dully and predictably. Rated: C May 20, 2025 Full Review Brennan Klein Screen Rant Ross Butler and Lana Condor's chemistry elevates one of the storylines in the ensemble rom-com Worth the Wait, but the movie is still entirely bland. Rated: 6/10 May 20, 2025 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media But the film works as a whole, and for audiences eager to see more Asian and Asian American/Canadian actors on screen, this one will have been worth the wait.

Alice K Lame movie lol sucked so bad Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Virginia M "Worth the Wait" tells multiple heartfelt and relatable stories that moved me to tears in various scenes. It was both humorous and touching, with raw human emotion intertwined. It's worth watching! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Cinema F This movie showcases an amazing collection of actors, and the interwoven story lines combine to create an entertaining and heartfelt film. This is essentially the Avengers of Asian romance/comedy actors, featuring all-stars like Ross Butler, Lana Condor, and Andrew Koji, as well as up-and-coming stars like Ali Fumiko Whitney and Ricky He. I particularly loved Ali Fumiko Whitney’s portrayal, having seen her in several films this year (#AMFAD: All My Friends Are Dead / Find Me Falling), this girl has RANGE! Add this film to your must-watch list. Great to see a new platform like Tubi dive into original content. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Ron T This movie starts out a little differently than most movies. It quickly introduces the characters and it seemed intriguing. The dialogue was quirky and enjoyable. Spoiler: As the father of three, and a grandfather I was upset by the birthing scene, that with no foreshadowing turned into a stillborn. I don’t like the latest trend of calling something a comedy, that has horrible tragedies in it. I am seeking entertainment not depression. I didn’t watch the rest of the movie, it might be great, but I am bailing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Heather V This movie was so worth the watch! Multiple story lines with real life story telling. Stories of love and grief and all the in between. It’s completely worth watching. We laughed and tears might have flowed. Well done!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Patrick L Great to see so many great actors that look like me on the screen. Love how all the storylines tied together & all the characters popping up into each others' stories. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
