Meet Cute

This movie comes off as something the studio had in mind to package and sell as a romantic comedy, when in actuality it tackles much deeper issues and themes. By the end of the viewing what I had expected to be an affair full of predictable ups and downs with the familiar "Will they, won't they?" tropes turned out to be a journey of nihilistic existentialism that bordered on becoming a really good philosophical film. Had the filmmakers and studios decided to lean more heavily into the artistic side of this movie it could have very well been another Mr. Nobody, which similarly explored deep philosophical questions while bringing us on a journey of two star crossed lovers who were destined to be together, but had to go through hell and back to get there.

A surprising turn of events that turned something that promised a generic experience into something with substance!

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.

This is a really good film.

But whoever was in charge for marketing this film needs to lose their job. It is sold in every way as a RomCom. The name of the film, the images just in publicity, even the synopsis reads as a RomCom.

What this movie really is is a deep look at mental health. About struggles we may have in life and the things we think we need to make our problems go away. It's a really challenging piece about society and the world we live in. It's many things. But it is not a Romantic Comedy.

There are outstanding performances from the two leads (who carry about 95% of the whole film).

It really jumps around, there are lots of changes of direction, just when you think you know where it's going, a new layer is revealed.

But because of the awful job done by the marketing team, the audience that will truly appreciate the film will probably pass it by.

People expecting a RomCom will be frustrated, turn off after 15 minutes and leave a bad rating and review.

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.

Please ignore the bad ratings. This movie is falsly advertised and promoted as a romcom. But in fact it's a heartfelt dramedy about struggling with love because of emotional trauma. And How to Deal with it. So it's not what you would expect regarding the trailer.

Liked the overall atmosphere and cinematography.

It shines with bittersweetness, small moments and touching philosophical aspects. Story and characters are relatable for those, who suffered the same in their lives. It may not be as enjoyable if you are not aware of what the characters are going through. However, it's told in a sweet way. Depends on you.

Worth a watch. 🖤
