When We First Met (2018)

When We First Met is a sweet, charming movie about who people are really meant for.

Noah, played immaculately by Adam Devine, gets the chance to travel back in time to persuade Avery, the girl of his dreams, to fall in love with him.

As the time travels increase, the comedy escalates and escalates, creating a subversion of the cliché conventions. The movie encompasses so much twists and turns, creating a modern love story.

In his most gorgeous role yet, Adam portrays Noah as an awkward and friendly guy, transforming his role from what could have been a creepy stalker, into a sweet protagonist, hopeful for love. Adam injects the perfect amount of humour and heart into his performance, demonstrating a true vulnerability to Noah.

This movie ends in such a beautiful note about life and love, with the whole cast having amazing chemistry together!

Fmovies: To be honest, I don't have much expectation when watching this movie. I just don't feel good at home and don't know what to do. I just strolling around the internet for a movies, and somehow the title seems interesting for me. I checked imdb, the review is "so so" (6), but I somehow interested in the title, so I just watched it.

Having watched this movie till the end. it makes me think "how come people rate this movie with 6 ?!?!" I just don't understand why. This is my first time reviewing a movie on internet. And let me tell you why this movie deserve 10.

Despite the love story within it, actually I'm more interested in the value delivered on it. I can't count anymore on how many times I'm wondering "what if I can go back and change the time? what if I didn't do that? what if I did that? why not I did that?" and other regrets of my past.

Watching this movie make me realize on how beautiful life is, with its up and down. This movie tell us that you might think that your life is ruined. you took a wrong decision and you want to go back again and fix everything. But when you have that chance, and you tried to change it many times, it turns out to never be as perfect as you expected.

Well that's life. you can't always be perfect. Someday you'll realized that what happened was the best things that could happen to you. you don't need to have other scenario within your life. you just need to life your life.

You can go back to your past but not regret it. Go back to your past and smile on how funny the life was. Go back to your past and be grateful that it happened. Because everything happens for reason. you might not understand it now. But someday you will.

Made me think about my life... my loves and regrets

May be it was a chance or may be it was meant to be that way, one would never know.

If you find that one girl, don't let her go. Everything's gonna turn out fine somehow :)

And of course: "DON'T TOUCH HER ASSHOLE!" :D

When We First Met fmovies. I have a strong eh feeling for "Netflix original films", some impress most fall flat. The original shows are good, most of the films feel like direct to video and its easy to see why the films don't come to theaters. I had some real hesitation checking When We First Met for two reasons. One, I didn't take confidence in seeing Adam Devine (who is decent in doses) as a leading man. Second, I found the time loop/reliving the same day storyline a little stale since there's been some recent frequent takes on it. Oddly and surprisingly, I had a good time with this one.

The film is about a man named Noah (Devine), who meets the girl of his dreams at a Halloween Party. Three years pass and he has to watch her get engaged to another man. He soon discovers that returning to a photo booth at a jazz bar allows him to travel back in time and relive that Halloween and change his future. Naturally, things go wrong as he tries to woo the girl that he wants most and we get a nice laugh out of Noah's trials and tribulations.

The film had a few funny moments. Some of them caused me to laugh out loud. Devine really worked as a leading man, a lot of the funny would not have been possible with out his unique delivery. The time loop nature of the film wasn't so annoying. I mean, there were times where I felt the story dragged out but it wasn't so easy to predict how Noah was going to get the right formula to end up with the girl he loves. Overall, I can't deny that I was interested the whole way through.

I do have a criticism that is kind of unrelated to the film. Why are internet stars like Andre Bachelor (who got famous off of vines) in so many movies now? I saw him do one with Logan Paul ffs. Yeah, lets keep it it real actors please. A fun time overall, I want to see Netflix bring more quality programming and not some hot garbage (Cloverfield Paradox, I'm looking at you).

7/10

I've read reviews saying this was suprisingly good and better than the usual chickflick, but I think that "When We First Met" is exactly that: The usual chickflick. The only thing that was better done than you might expect is the ending. I think most people will not see this ending coming, but will probably be sort of hoping for it throughout the movie.

The comedy/humour in "When We First Met" is mostly a bit dull and/or idiotic, but some parts really do make you laugh. I think that they might have been trying too hard to be funny, which made it a little bit awkward at times, but I suppose that that comes with this genre. It's not better, but also not worse, than you'd expect.

The main character isn't as likeable as he/she usually is in a romcom, but this character will warm up to you. The secundairy characters consist of the pretty girl who's put on a way too high pedestal without any real reason, the handsome guy who everybody likes except one (because of jealousy ofcourse), the goovy/cool female friend and the goovy/cool male friend. You'll find yourself liking some of them though, which makes for an enjoyable movie.
