- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperCuoco 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.
- 75ConsequenceClint WorthingtonConsequenceClint WorthingtonBehind 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.

- 67ColliderEmily BernardColliderEmily BernardIf 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.

- 50Paste MagazineJesse HassengerPaste MagazineJesse HassengerMeet 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.

- 40The GuardianAdrian HortonThe GuardianAdrian HortonAs 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.
