Margot Hayes (Emma Roberts) and Griffin Reed (Thomas Mann) may well be the perfect couple. The only trouble is they've never met and they're both about to tie the knot with someone else. But all that is about to change when fate places them in each other's lives and opens their eyes to true love.

Despite the off-putting blandness of its poster, soundtrack, and set-up, About Fate proves surprisingly charming.

It would all be pretty boilerplate, but Mann’s anchoring appeal — his lean into Griffin’s modesty and decency — saves the movie from a sorrier fate.

The women are nuts, the men are clueless and the production is so cheap you could pass the time spotting every mistake no one bothered to fix.

For a romantic comedy, About Fate is about as generic a title as they come, and it certainly matches the film that follows, a predictable slice of milquetoast pap that would feel snug at home on any basic cable network or streaming service.

3/5

Though this isn't the sort of romcom moviegoers are likely to turn to year after year for comfort and joy, it's worth a watch to see the cast and the funny wedding sequence in the third act.

The tragedy here is that About Fate won't have as much traction as any of those inane Netflix holiday rom-coms, when it's precisely the kind of movie we rom-com lovers deserve.

Nothing to write home about, but fine as a rom-com. I do think Emma Roberts is a pretty charming actress and the male lead did a good job as well.

Una película decente. Si bien es algo predecible en ocasiones, también cuenta con momentos muy particulares que te toman por sorpresa. Me gustó aunque no disfruté mucho del doblaje al Español debo admitir, por lo que la volveré a ver en su idioma original que es el Inglés. En lo personal, a mí me gustan mucho las películas de comedia romántica así que ver esta película no fue un error y, a pesar de algunas malas escenas, la disfruté bastante. Además, me gusta mucho Emma Roberts así que ver una película de ella nunca va a caer mal. En resumen, la recomiendo si te gustan las romcom y tienes ganas de ver algo relacionado al amor predestinado.

Ilove romcoms and this one is no exception. A bit sentimental, maybe not a bit but I loved it. It was funny and overall it felt like a good time. Matter fact I'm gonna rewatch it.
