Carried by the infectious charms of Ali Wong and Randall Park, Always Be My Maybe takes familiar rom-com beats and cleverly layers in smart social commentary to find its own sweet groove.

The film's funny, contemporary, and uniquely tender take on the friends-to-lovers formula is further bolstered by its cultural specificity.

This literal LOL-filled film from sitcom showrunner Nahnatchka Khan doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does provide a genuinely sweet, truly funny film that is sure to be watched and rewatched on many Saturday afternoons on the couch in pajamas.

“Always Be My Maybe” is a barrier-breaking film centered around an Asian American couple. It's entertaining from start to finish and is one of the better romantic comedies we’ve seen in recent years.

It was a joy to see this side of Keanu, and I hope we get to see more of it in future films.

Brutal even by rom com standards, don’t understand how it’s rated so high. The scenes with Keanu were hilarious though

What a cute and sweet film that felt like proving that opposites attract. The whole thing with Keanu Reeves was a little off putting though
