A wildly inventive deconstruction of the romantic comedy built around the question: What would you do if you could travel to your loved ones’ past, heal their traumas, fix their problems, and change them into the perfect partner?

It’s both entertaining and smart as hell.
Consequence by Clint Worthington
Behind Meet Cute‘s smart performances and effortless humor lies a bittersweet tale about the agony of choosing to live another day, of making decisions not knowing whether they’re the right ones.
Chicago Sun-Times by Richard Roeper
Cuoco and Davidson make for an endearingly offbeat, magnetic pairing; the two actors are up to the challenge of playing different shades within their respective characters.
We Got This Covered by Francisca Tinoco
Despite its shortcomings, 'Meet Cute' takes viewers on a journey through the harsh reality of relationships that they won't soon forget.

If you don’t stress over the logistics of time travel and are willing to appreciate the “deeper meanings” that are on full display, then check out this beautifully shot love letter to the messiness of New York City and life itself.

Movie Nation by Roger Moore
Meet Cute makes for an offbeat spin on its titular rom-com convention, and Cuoco and Davidson give it just enough heart to pay off, something I attribute to Kaley C. because on his own, Davidson can be funnier, but he’s usually as warm as refrigerated cod.
CNN by Brian Lowry
The formula is obviously full of potential, which explains why writers keep returning to it, from “50 First Dates” to the recent Andy Samberg movie “Palm Springs.” Yet the concept is also fraught with peril.
Paste Magazine by Jesse Hassenger
Meet Cute has more on its mind than so many mid-2000s rom-coms, and sure looks a hell of a lot better, so it’s all the more crushing when so much of it turns out to be just as gratingly plastic.
RogerEbert.com by Nick Allen
The romantic fantasies and the time travel plotting of “Meet Cute” are a total mismatch.
The Guardian by Adrian Horton
As hard as Cuoco and Davidson try at chemistry – and Cuoco, at least, seems to be really trying – this umpteenth spin on the Groundhog Day time loop is more irksome than endearing, cutesy than actually cute, a downward spiral of uncomfortably performed neuroticism that devolves into a borderline indefensible ending.
The New York Times by Calum Marsh
Of course, these logistical problems would be excusable if the romance at the center of the movie were remotely compelling or if the jokes were actually funny.
The A.V. Club by Jordan Hoffman
There aren’t any clever moments, just a parade of clichés you’ve seen in many other indie romances.
