Meet Cute

When that one really good dream I had in my life is made as a movie. Special and unique version of the conversation made by two really good actors in leading roles. My appreciation goes to all cast and production as well. Nothing was mediocre or banal to me about this loving chance of someone to keep the other person happy close to own life. Just one day as all other days in everybody's hard as hell life to be worth of trying when you know who is your reason to stay. The real connection we have is always someone else, the other human being and nothing else ever. Why is this so hard to believe?

Kaley Cuoco and Pete Davidson star in this dark rom com about a girl that meets a guy at a bar but she doesn't exactly tell him everything at the jump of their "Meet Cute" encounter. The movie makes a big left turn at about the 20 minute mark and then keeps you guessing about what is going on for the majority of the movie.

Pete and Kaley have pretty compelling chemistry between the two of them and their comedic timing plays off well of each other. There are some instances where it is a little confusing following "the rules" of what is going on that need a little more fleshed out writing to fully grasp. The movie also deals with certain aspects of depression that can be triggering for some people, but overall the movie has a lot of heart. If you're a fan of these two actors and dark rom coms then you will appreciate this movie and over look the confusing bits. I found it to be entertaining and thoughtful.

Firstly, if you haven't realised by now that going into a movie with very specific expectations based on a synopsis or trailer is a bad idea, I just don't know what to tell you. Reviews are hardly any more reliable but I'm going to try anyway....

Now we have that out of the way -

As others have mentioned, this isn't a rom com. It isn't really a comedy in general; there are genuinely humorous moments (think wry grin as opposed to outright laughter) but the film is not trying hard to be funny as its main objective. It's also not a sci-fi. The time machine essentially serves as a McGuffin, it facilitates the telling of the story but is not central to the actual message of the story. Pulp fiction was not about what is inside the briefcase, and this is not a movie about time travel. It's about emotional baggage, mental health, love and the futility of trying to force someone else to change.

This is one of the better movies I've seen in quite a while. The acting, dialogue and cinematography are great. The plot is smart without trying too hard (Christopher Nolan, I'm looking at you) and deftly tackles some moderately dark subject matter in a tasteful and realistic way.

I hope I've convinced you to give it a try. If not, I'll come back tomorrow and perhaps then it'll work...

I have to agree with other reviewers.. This is not a rom-com. Could be a dark comedy... But it is a (romatic?) drama. And it delivers.

I can see the hate on most of the low rated reviews, not sure if towards Pete or Kaley. Looks like those viewers are expecting to chuckle with anything with Pete on it. (or Kaley for that matter).

Some clearly dont event understand depression.

Yes, there is a time loop here (not a spoiler), but thats not even the point of the movie. If you are trying to make sense of that, you are watching the wrong kind of movie.

Most of us have suffered heartache from broken relationships. Some of us, Feeling alone. And some desperation to fit in a world that doesnt understand us.

You should watch this movie knowing it is an exploration of dark emotions. It might trigger you on some topics, but im almost positive you will end with an uplifting sensation.

And for those complaining of making sense... Time travel never makes sense. Thats a fact.

I would ignore the trailer. I liked this movie. Like a book you should give it at least 15-20 minutes and if you still aren't intrigued then it's not for you. I think labeling this as a rom com isn't right. It's dark. I think most of the bad reviews from viewers and so called "professional reviewers" I feel didn't closely watch the movie, not their type of genre, have something against Pete Davidson, or just didn't understand it. Then there are those who really didn't like it, which to me are the reviews I respect. No movie is perfect. I think people with mental health struggles will get some type of emotion out of it as there are some scenes that hit deep. Pete and Kaley have awesome chemistry.
