Romance. Comedy. Fantasy A 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?

	Media	Author	Review
		Jacob Throneberry Ready Steady Cut	"Meet Cute doesn’t do anything to change the rom-com, but it is a valuable addition nonetheless. Pete Davidson and Kaley Cuoco have surprisingly good chemistry (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Jordan Hoffman TV Guide	"Peacock's puzzling rom-com leaves its talented stars, and its unlucky viewers, trapped in an unfunny time loop"
		Coleman Spilde The Daily Beast	"[It] is delightfully strange, harkening back to a time when mid-budget films took big, weird swings."
		Jesse Hassenger Paste Magazine	"It’s a poor man’s Palm Springs, using the charm of comedy stars and the wistfulness of lonely souls to masquerade as a movie about personal trauma and suicide ideation"
		Adrian Horton The Guardian	"Charmless romantic comedy (...) Kaley Cuoco and Pete Davidson can't muster up enough chemistry for an increasingly annoying attempt to make an edgy romcom (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Josh Bell CBR	"'Meet Cute' is a twisty sci-fi mind trip and a gorgeously shot urban romance sold by Cuoco and Davidson's chemistry and strong performances."
		Jordan Hoffman AV Club	"[It] has all the unoriginality of a forgettable low-budget picture (...) plus a central premise that just doesn’t work"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"Cuoco has demonstrated her chops as a producer and star, and she's really the focus of the story (...) it would have been nice if 'Meet Cute' had done a little more to capitalize on the attention"
		Liz Kocan Decider	"Honestly, I just really enjoyed 'Meet Cute', it was an easy, fun romance where I really wanted them to be happy. If I could, I'd go back in time and watch it for the first time all over again"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"The romantic fantasies and the time travel plotting of 'Meet Cute' are a total mismatch (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Emily Bernard Collider	"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"
		Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"Despite its flaws, 'Meet Cute' flickers with potential. The film has pockets of charming moments, which make it easier to see what the filmmakers were trying to achieve"
		Calum Marsh The New York Times	"[The story's] logistical problems would be excusable if the romance at the center of the movie were remotely compelling or if the jokes were actually funny"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"A smart, funny and at times truly poignant story (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"[It] is both a credible romance and a clever attempt at deconstructing just what it is we love about love, both on the big screen and in the mess of our everyday lives"
		Michael Nordine Variety	"Just as their first-date magic feels forced (...) so does the movie’s"
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"While there's the germ of a great time-loop plot idea here, Lehmann and Pnueli don't expand on it enough, or do anything surprising or cool"
