Erskine, with her earthy chuckle and precision-tooled comic timing, is the real discovery here. She’s a smutty, sniggering joy in the role and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Read full review

The weddings themselves are a hoot, shrewdly observed, witty, but genuine. Read full review

Maya Erskine is hilarious, which is no surprise, given how funny she is on Hulu’s Pen15. Read full review

The movie’s real showcase gold lies in the magnetic appeal of screwball comedy natural Erskine (Hulu’s “PEN15”); she’s a major talent who rightly runs away with the movie, conjuring in the viewer’s head a constellation of wishful star turns to come. Read full review

It needed bigger laughs and more of the big, ironic comedy that Erskine can clearly deliver. Read full review

Saw it won Tribeca's audience award, so I had higher expectations for this indie RomCom, and it exceeded them. I had a blast watching this movie. It's funny, quick, and heartbreaking. Everything you'd want in a RomCom. Excited for the main girl's next film, she was so funny and real.

A fresh break from those Netflix RomCom busts.… Expand

In a rough summer for movies so far, this is an absolute breath of fresh air. I mean, how many different ways can you do a rom-com? Haven't we seen it all before? The answer is NO. This is stellar. Eskine is fantastic - never seen her before, and the Quaid kid is certainly good enough toIn a rough summer for movies so far, this is an absolute breath of fresh air.

I loved this movie!!! Maya Erskine and Jack Quaid have great chemistry. The writing is smart and performances (especially Erskine) are great!!! This is the date movie that America needs. I would call it a millenials version of "When Harry Met Sally".

Good chemistry between the two main characters but the formulaic plot and its devastating predictability hit it massively.

It doesn't destroy it but definitely doesn't achieve something noteworthy.

Alice is the most annoying unlikable female lead I've ever seen. She has a future in that type of role because she's so good at it without even trying. It's poor casting, the result of checking off the diversity boxes.
