Critics Consensus

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.

Simple and super predictable, but presented with so much charm that it becomes a really fun comfort watch!

Ali Chang is hilarious in this coming of age rom-com. Cameo by keanu reeves is over the top in a great way.

Whoever thought that Randall Puke could act or was funny should go back on their medications. He is annoying and repulsive. So is this movie.

It's a unique comedy drama love story. Not like a normal love story, easy to guess plot twist kind of movie. It's good.
