I got that it wasn't flashy, but it wasn't bad either. It had acting and comedy chops without being crass or obvious. It was solid and told a story with people of colour without resorting to making it a message-movie. Hamilton-syndrome maybe; representative without being about representation. Yes, it felt like good TV and not great movie, with its Netflix standard crispness, but it knows its audience. I very much liked this sort of effortlessly pleasing romcom with real chemistry and no pretensions.

Seriously, he's funny, unexpected, and also his usual sexy self. Movie's cute too - pretty predictable, but with enough heart and intelligence to keep it interesting.

I watched it yesterday and I would be more than glad to watch it again. The characters were so likeable, especially James Saito, who made me smile with every scene he was on. I have to admit the Keanu Reeves part took me by surprise and it was HILARIOUS. If you are a fan of romantic comedies and also have some knowledge about Keanu's previous roles in action movies, you will totally enjoy this one, I guarantee it.

A tender rom com that I enjoyed right from the start when Sasha shuts her door in the face of Marcus until the credits during which Marcus sings his memorable encounter. The success of the film owes much to the actors playing the two main protagonists, either teen or adult, as well as the wacky and awesome presence of Keanu Reeves, as a repulsive guest star. The characters are globally endearing and transform this conventional story in a delightful rom com.

Cute rom com about two people, Sasha and Marcus (Ali Wong and Randall Park) who knew each other in childhood and early teen years and reconnect 15 years later.

Sasha is now a celebrity chef, and Marcus is still living at home and working for his father. They aren't that excited about getting together.

There are some sweet moments in this film, but the funniest scene takes place in a restaurant with Sasha's hot date, Keanu Reeves. He is HILARIOUS. The whole restaurant set-up is a riot. Park says something like "I just ate a $640 meal and I'm starving." The movie is worth seeing just for that part.

Very pleasant.

Whilst the film doesn't break any new ground and is fairly formulaic it still has that feel good factor with two very likeable leads and enough actual laughs to get by. It won't blow your socks off but perfect for a quiet night in.

This movie should have a higher rating than 6.8 on IMDb. It's a well-made well written funny and heartwarming movie. Keenu Reeves is a riot but not the only reason to watch this movie. The two main characters are likable and the ending of the story is very sweet. Highly recommend!

There were a few laughs and there's a nice feel-good factor in here. Ali Wong and Keanu Reeves were great, as well.

However, in certain parts, the characters' actions were so over the top, creating a drastic change in tone that broke immersiveness in the 'romance' of the story.

I didn't believe in the great love or even friendship between the two leads because a long relationship like that is more than a few jokes and one sexual encounter. There was no sense of them having been through a lot together or knowing each other's unique quirks or talking about big life stuff and finding out each other's values.

Also, one part at the end surprised me by being construed as a romantic gesture on Ali Wong's part. I am sure that most people in real life would be angry and upset that what they thought was their business booming turned out to be a loved one secretly throwing money at the problem.

While I can see Ali Wong's character as being an amazing; desirable woman, Randall Park's character came off as immature to the point of being selfish and mean-spirited, hence not likeable or attractive.

His 'growth' and realization at the end felt like too little, too late. It came off as a man who seemed to do a one-eighty because he had nothing else in his life anyway, rather than someone who grew into himself and finally realised he appreciated her.

A couple, from small kids to adults always seem to mess things up just as they seem to becoming a couple. Their lives go in different directions for years with him becoming an air conditioning engineer, her a hugely successful chef and restauranteur. Then they meet up again.

Whilst the romcom story elements are hardly radical, this is a genuinely funny and sharp comedy with two lovely central performances, supported by a great turn by Buteau and a hysterical send up of himself by Keanu Reeves - the scene in the hugely ostentatious restaurant is one of the funniest of the year.

Having a few bad weeks behind due to work, personal family issues etc etc and just opened Netflix late evening to set my mind away from all stuff. This movie was just what I needed! Creating acting, great plot. Got me a great "happy feeling" during the whole movie. Thanks to all who played a role in making this movie!!

Perfect movie for if you just want something simple and light to watch. It makes you feel good afterwards. Though some parts are a little bit too comic but hey, it's better than the typical rom-com.

As an asian myself, i love the little details (what i like to call "subtle asian traits") portrayed in the movie so naturally; such as removing shoes before entering a house, eating spam with rice, or proving love by not using the "family discount" card even though it's ingrained in our souls to do whatever we can to save money hahaha. I also love the display of interesting juxtaposition between the asian all our parents want (rich, classy like Sasha) and hippie, go-with-the-flow asian like Marcus and Jenny (i'm also surprised at how chill Marcus' dad is)

I could write about some questionable parts about why i can't give this movie a 10 out of 10--i dont want to say it's problematic, but it's just something that bugs me. But then, don't think too much like me and just watch it for what it is; a fun, light hearted rom-com movie with asian-american rep

Really one of the best rom coms to come out in awhile. Its not a cookie cutter film, but actually really unique. I won't give away the specifics, but this may have the greatest cameo in the history of movies. If you watch, please pay attention to the credits there is an original rap that is wonderful.

I watched this movie over a year ago and I have a very vague memory of the plot and the characters except for Keanu Reeves. I am probably one of the few people in the world who had not seen any Keanu Reeves movies before this one and his performance in this movie made me a huge fan. He was by far the best thing in this movie. The movie is only ok but I would still recommend watching it just to see Keanu Reeves performance.

Honestly this movie is kind of difficult to stay with; I paused it at 60 minutes and couldn't believe there was still another half hour left. It's hard to be invested or care about either main character as one is an arrested development man-child and the other is a pretentious jerk. Their personalities and life style are not compatible and the chemistry just isn't there. Unbelievable romance and almost no comedy.

A get-together, break-up, and get-back-together type romcom film.

Always Be My Maybe is lighthearted, funny, and genuine. Everyone has genuine chemistry that is noticeable beyond the film.

The only thing that broke my suspension of belief is the fact that Marcus is still able to somehow survive San Francisco living costs with only a HS diploma. Like...how?

Did love that extra Asian-American representation though. And that ending is 10/10 beautiful.

(And if y'all haven't noticed from everyone else's reviews, there is a surprise cameo that basically steals the show.)

3/5. Fun, lighthearted romcom to watch during a rainy Friday night. Don't expect a deep script or too many underlying symbolism. Turn your brain off and enjoy the show.

The trailer had me hooked. I thought it was going to be a clever rom com about returning to your roots. I thought it would show the importance of love and family over fame. Sure, the movie ended on that point for the last five minutes. But the character development was lacking. The characters would love someone, then yell at them, hate them, then repeat. Their actions were impulsive. It finally ends happy but doesn't explain how the characters changed inside in order to get to that point. It felt very sad and like people only cared about themselves, except for when it benefited themselves to care about someone else. The characters were punny but I really didn't get to know them.

So, a hard one for me to review. I really liked the humour that they used. Even made me laugh out loud sometimes! And I feel like the characters were realistic, not over the top stereoptypes (like you can get a lot in romcoms). But, despite of the good haha moments that I had, the storyline was kind of boring. A not so original boy loves girl, girl loves boy movie.

Typed out a thought out review and my phone refreshed before submitting. Lived the diverse cast. Unfortunately the leads weren't consistent. They were: 10% good 40% alright 40% meh 10% I want to turn this off but I'm no quitter

Though quite average and formulaic at times, Always Be My Maybe manages to take risks with much success, even while not totally being a great romantic comedy. The film is well acted, and well told, minus some structure issues. The overall look makes for a dazzling and at times romantic spectacle that seems fitting for the film, but at times may prove distracting rather than helpful. Needless to say, Keanu Reeves somewhat cameo halfway through the film makes for the most joy in an otherwise average story, and is surprisingly done with just the right amount of ridiculousness without taking it too far. In the end, the film is sweet, and obviously not perfect, but it has its quirks and provides a certainly interesting addition to the Netflix rom-com catalog. My Rating: 7.5/10

Better than Crazy Rich Asians, not too stereotyped. Hope to see more movies from Ali Wong.

If there's one thing Netflix seems to be doing pretty successfully (besides TV), it's rom-coms. Always Be My Maybe was the next big comedy to make waves through the renowned streaming service, and to mostly good results. Ali Wong and Randall Park play two lovers who reconnect after not having seen each other for over a decade. Park, who has been poorly miscast in a few recent comic book films, plays great off Wong and vice versa. And as I say about most of these films, it can be painfully cheesy without the right actors & director. Luckily, that's not the case here. Plus, an extended cameo from Keanu Reeves as himself made this film all the more enjoyable. So even if the rom-com genre isn't necessarily getting the screen time in theaters it deserves, I'm glad it seems to be making a resurgence on the small screen.

7.7/10

This is such a cute movie, it's smart, funny and not ridiculous. There's such good chemistry and it just works!! I've always really liked Ali Wong, never a mega fan necessarily but loved her in things I saw. Can't say I was a Randall Park fan, it's not that I didn't like him, I just didn't ever love any of his projects. This one is such a win though. FINALLY such a cute rom com that's not rushed or corny or lame. Ali Wong And Randall Park are both writers and producers on this project! It really makes me fans of both of them. Please tell me there's a sequel in the works already! There have been so many high school stories on Netflix so this was a nice, fresh story. We need more of these quality rom coms!!!! Also the music was great!

The story is not new but nice cast and an absolute highlight when Keanu Reeves appears. The restaurant szene is hilarious. Watchable only because of this szene.

I was so looking forward to this, but the main female character gave me no reason to like her. The little girl at the beginning was good, but it went downhill from there. Marcus's dad was good and Sasha's bff was great, but there was no real chemistry between the main characters and the movie just never gave me any reason to pull for the couple.
