replacing enjoyable, sweet and female-led with grating, inane and chauvinistic, this movie puts the "suffer" in "insufferable"; Neither romantic nor comedic, "When We First Met" is almost too vapid to be aggravating
nobody else would release "When We First Met," because it's the kind of vaguely passable entertainment that wants points just for existing; a high-concept, low-reward comedy made with the same degree of ambivalence
it's predictable, but certainly not cheesy; When We First Met is still a pleasant surprise populated with refreshing characters, made interesting by nice twists and turns, that is worth the slow burn that it takes to get there
