About Fate

I'm a big fan of Emma Robert's work, and familiar with Thomas Mann's work as well. When I saw they would be staring in a holiday rom-com together I had to watch! Both did a great job in this movie, specifically Mann who has always had hilarious comedic timing. His character is also genuinely kind that warms your heart, something that is usually disingenuously forced in your face with other rom coms. The story was entertaining and engaging enough to keep me glued to the screen. The supporting cast did a great job as well. Was it predictable? Yeah. However, it's the best holiday rom-com I've seen of the 2022 season. I recommend!

I had no expectations from this movie before watching it. I didn't even know what it was about, until I read the synopsis, which I found interesting. Plus I'm a fan of Emma Roberts. But I'm glad I watched it. How you'll like this movie in my IMO will depend on your thoughts in "faith" and if you have ever been in-love to the right person. If you're a believer, then you'll find this movie uplifting, and inspiring. If you're not, then you might just be irritated by how the movie plays out. As for me, it's nice to believe in a little bit of faith now and then. It's a perfect movie to watch at this time of the year. This movie is well directed and well acted, even though the four main characters, are somewhat on the unrealistic side. I doubt anyone would have reacted in the same way as the characters have in this movie, if the situations they were on happened in the real-world. This movie is also well edited. It keeps the narrative of the story moving along at a nice pace. But it's also your typical Christmas love story movie that goes through a roller coaster ride. There's an initial heartbreak, then a saviour , then another heartbreak, then a happy ending. Or is there? You'll just have to find out for yourself. VERDICT: It's a good movie, especially during Christmas.

Writing about this incredible film vomit will not be easy because I actually watched the movie! This goes beyond the failure of plot or the disgustingly puke filled dialogue and takes the viewer right on to the rim of the toilet where he/she (or they,them) can stroke the ethereal goat nuts of suck! Every one of these pathetic, untalented wannabes should Force the producers to bury this trash before some other child-like non-actors get the idea that anyone can be the next John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart or Helen Mirren. PLEASE GOD don't waste a second of your valuable life stumbling through this dung heap! SERIOUSLY don't! There are NO SPOILERS because you can't spoil bovine skat!

I wish I could give this zero stars and take back the long two hours lost on it. Amazon prime video kept suggesting this movie to me whenever I played anything on it. It being Christmas and Emma Roberts being in it, we decided to watch it with some friends yesterday afternoon. And oh god it was the worst Christmas movie of all time. I thought last Christmas was bad! I was wrong! The two main characters have ZERO chemistry. There are no funny lines. There is just horror after horror after horror happening. There is not enough time to cope with one horrible scene before the next one happens. Don't watch it!

Maybe I can't be objective about this movie since I love Emma Roberts but I am grateful that she decided to make this film since I jumped to watch it because she is on it, calling this as fate that I watch this film and definitely is already my favorite romantic movie of 2022. The charming script possess a vibe from the 80's and even the 90's, having that kind of unforgetable moments. Thomas Mann was a good call since he makes great chemistry with Emma Roberts where both are like complementary of each other but also sharing key elements such as same favorite movie, same kind of pet, for not saying cool surprises. It's set on New Year's Eve so it's an excellent choice to watch on xmas season but I can tell that it's totally fine to watch anytime of the year. Highly recommended.
