When We First Met

Noah Ashby meets Avery at a party and has what feels like a perfect evening with her, but she only sees him as a friend. Three years later, still stuck on what went wrong, Noah discovers a photo booth that can send him back to the night they met. He begins returning to that evening again and again, each time hoping to change how things turn out and win her over. The comedy blends time travel with romantic pursuit, as Noah's repeated attempts to correct the past keep producing new complications rather than the outcome he wants.

Ari Sandel directed the film, which sits between The DUFF and Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween in his filmography. John Whittington wrote the screenplay, and McG, Mason Novick and Adam Saunders produced. Adam Devine plays Noah, with Alexandra Daddario as Avery, Shelley Hennig as Carrie Grey, Andrew Bachelor as Max, Robbie Amell as Ethan and Dean J. West as Phil among the 24 credited cast members; 43 crew are credited. The production had a budget of about 10 million dollars.

A critics' rating of 5 out of 10, drawn from 22 reviews, is close to those audience scores, indicating a similar middle-ground response across viewers and reviewers.
