Leave your thoughts about When We First Met.
| MattPais.comMatt PaisA Netflix-and-chill selection you may watch to the end. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Jessica MansfieldIt's predictable, but certainly not cheesy |
| Under the RadarMegan MoffatThere are consistent genre conventions that appear throughout the runtime, but When We First Met manages to smoothly come together in the end with its romantic notions of fate and destiny. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA little DeVine goes a long way, with the feature not nearly as hilarious or meaningful as it aims to be. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesRomantic comedy vets will be able to figure out the ending early on. While it's predictable, the destination eventually makes the journey worthwhile and rewarding. |
| Screen ZealotsLouisa MooreEvery tired rom-com checkbox is ticked, but this film still manages to feel fresh, is thoroughly delightful, and delivers pleasant, affable entertainment. |
| The Young FolksJon NegroniPart of the problem does lie in DeVine himself, who is relied on too heavily by the script and is present in essentially every scene. |
| Den of GeekDelia HarringtonMost of that charm comes through in the back half of the movie, once Noah course-corrects his goals, and the story becomes more engaging. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThis watered-down rom-com doesn't fully deliver but it's a diverting twist on the genre nonetheless. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreDevine, like Adam Sandler, has hitched his cinematic wagon to Netflix, and they have done likewise. But as ready as the Jack Black comparison (musical, plump, tries too hard) might be, it’s only mean because it’s accurate. |
