Critics Reviews

David Ehrlich indieWire It'll take you roughly five minutes to realize that Noah is going about things the wrong way; it'll take him more than 90. Rated: D+ Feb 20, 2018 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com It's like being at a crowded restaurant and eavesdropping on the same bad first date over and over and over again. You'd probably want to move tables. Rated: 2/4 Feb 9, 2018 Full Review Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times The potentially problematic premise is narrowly sidestepped because the film zigs when you expect it to zag... This watered-down rom-com doesn't fully deliver but it's a diverting twist on the genre nonetheless. Feb 9, 2018 Full Review Preston Barta Fresh Fiction How the movie plays with time and its different scenarios elevates it above your average laundry-folding, background noise rom-coms. Rated: B- Mar 30, 2019 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Every tired rom-com checkbox is ticked, but this film still manages to feel fresh, is thoroughly delightful, and delivers pleasant, affable entertainment. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 21, 2018 Full Review Kiera Allen Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL) What's refreshing about When We First Met is that it comes with twists and heartfelt surprises.

Audience Reviews

Bucky R Adam Devine is funny enough to make this dopey time travel romcom perfectly acceptable. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review R W Whether one likes a movie or not is a matter of personal taste. While others here don't seem to like this movie, I like it a lot. I tend to like whatever Adam Devine is in (he's so funny), and I love the sci-fi and rom-com elements to the story. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review JackieIsntGr8 I love this movie!! It's funny, sweet, and full of heart. I think it's a realistic and eye-opening portrayal of the fantasies we build around "what ifs". Things work out the way they're supposed to, even when it isn't always easy or even possible to realize. Adam Devine was great, and gave so much depth to the basic concept of a love-sick character. Even knowing what to expect, it's always fun to watch and definitely has become a comfort movie for me. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/23 Full Review AyrisMatt It's often my girlfriend and I will sit down and watch a romcom together and it be the same old story with very little imagination or heart. I must give this film a bit of credit it try's to be something with a bit more substance. I generally enjoyed all the characters in the movie and for a guy who was friend zoned when he was younger I find it very relatable. It's a good little story with good arc and fun premise of time travel . It's not a masterpiece by any stretch but an enjoyable movie to pass some time. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/19/23 Full Review Natty C IMMEDIATELY thought of groundhog day lol Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Kittichote P I love this movie ... When I watch make me so happy Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
