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.

7.5/10

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.
