    A soft, schmaltzy but passable rom-com, lacking the 'edge' of the best in the genre

    The BEST rom-coms have a dark edge ("Destination Wedding", "Meet Cute", "Always Be My Maybe", "Palm Springs", etc) but some with NO edge get by (just) on the 'charm' of their leads (without which they'd be Hallmark sludge)... like "About Fate". Emma Roberts & Thomas Mann are likeable twenty-something strangers who on New Years Eve Eve (warning: it's a festive movie) are SUPPOSED to get engaged to their respective ill-suited partners Lewis Tan & Madelaine Petsch... but 'fate' (or 'serendipity'? - no, THAT rom-com had more edge too) has other plans for this perfect pair. It's soft & schmaltzy fare, but for the right audience, it is passable.

    Normal

    This is not really a review, it should be taken more as a collection of impressions of the film.

    I imagined a terrible, classic and very boring love film that also wanted to pass itself off as a comedy and instead I found a more than acceptable film that manages to entertain very well and even if it does not add anything to the now overcrowded genre of romantic comedies. The film is very good above all because it does not have many pretensions and even if it makes some classic slip in the usual dynamics of a poor romantic comedy, the film is still valid. Last small flaw, the ending is too slow and the film would have been better keeping the fast pace of the first part.

    Doesn't contain THE MESSAGE

    I absolutely loved this movie.

    In 2022, it is very hard to find a story like this.

    The story is very character driven, there is no unnecessary subplots to confuse the viewer and there is no exploring side-character's stories unnecessarily.

    Absolutely zero mention of THE MESSAGE.

    (This is why this is a rare find in 2022)

    In this movie, the just the lead actors telling their story how they meet on a fateful night and how they keep meeting for some reason is explored. It's just lead actors telling their story and the supporting actors are supporting the leads' story to progress.

    Seven out of ten because there are some goofs and mishaps in the movie that make the viewer feel like deceived but it does not hurt the story's continuation.

    A must watch if you love rom-coms which has the new year's eve theme bound to it.

    Young and awkward and feels good

    8.2 stars.

    It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to enjoy such a hassle free, error free, and amateur free love story like this one. I've been stuck in Hallmark land for so long that I forgot how nice a good mainstream romance could make me feel. Sure, everybody is simply having sex these days, and it's been like this for decades, but thankfully the sex thing isn't overdone here, and these two young adults are just really cool, fun, nerdy, intelligent, and nice people who happen to fall in love amidst a tumult of adversarial people and circumstances. I enjoyed myself the whole way through and I have nothing negative to say 'About Fate'. Good solid romance, if you like either one of the leads you will love this movie.

    Good good good

    An old style movie without the presumption to be a "neorealism movie" like those that win awards but nobody watches. I really enjoyed it. In a world where people confuse feelings with suffering, illness and other "real" things, well, watching this movie is like fresh water. Acting is fine, the story is clear since the first scene but who cares? We all need to dream, to love, to connect with our heart without constantly thinking about our real problems. We all live our days surrounded by anger, poverty, inflation, Covid, cancer, war, toxic relationships and a movie like this (as in the past) is a blessing.
