"Director of The Hating Game reunites with his muse, the very talented Lucy Hale, in this romedy, heavy on the rom. For the first hour, this was so good. Funny, touching, sexy and then, as its happened too many times, the stupid manufactured third act conflict happens, which then requires the super awkward scene to get back on track and…I’m just disappointed in a bad ending to a wonderful movie. Because the stars have tons of chemistry, the unique plot is kinda fun (until it isn’t) and the soundtrack is absolutely remarkable. "
"It started out just straight to the point definitely was graphic, but the ending was nice. "

"“Which Brings Me to You” is a look at two people who have been unlucky in love, whether it be through self-sabotage, not being ready for big emotions and commitment, or evasiveness in general. Jane and Will, the two people in question, are determined to grow as people and finally stumble into something that sticks.
When they first meet each other, they veer towards what they know to be safe: casualness. But over time and recalling their experiences with each of their past romantic interests to one another do they realize they want and are deeply ready for something more.
This was cleverly told through flashbacks between the past and present and allowed me to walk into and inhabit Will and Jane’s separate and converging worlds. They have to fight for something more stable and reliable to sustain and fulfill their inner desires. It is more meaningful to find your person than only go through a string of relentless hook-ups that I’m convinced hurt people more than they sometimes let on if they get too attached, etc. We are all humans who want to be loved and cared for and I think this movie really acutely speaks to what it is to grow up and fall into a gentle, passionate, beautiful love.

"Enjoyable. A cute rom-com with a few scenes of deep conversation. I didn’t find it sappy and corny like a few other rom-coms I’d watched. "
