Erbland finds the comedy amusing but says it wastes its clever timeline-bending premise. She praises the lively wedding comedy while faulting the thin central romance and the film’s timid, underused concept.

Goldstein finds the film an overworked, disappointing comedy that wears thin before its central repeat premise begins. He faults its contrived situations and characters who feel more like types than authentic people.

Siede finds the film’s cringe comedy unfunny and its shifts in tone unsuccessful. She praises the appealing sibling dynamic between Sam Claflin and Eleanor Tomlinson as a bright spot in the uneven film.

Freer finds the comedy frustrating and says its time-loop conceit fails to work. He praises the cast and production values, especially the central performances.

Rooney finds the comedy derivative and tedious, with too little wit to lift its romantic farce. He singles out Olivia Munn’s relaxed luminosity as a welcome contrast to the strained performances around her.

Lee finds the comedy laboured and flat, with its promising wedding-seat premise failing to become worthwhile. He singles out Tim Key’s comic delivery and Aisling Bea’s performance as brief bright spots.

The critic finds the film harmless and pleasant enough, but not especially original or memorable. They praise the likeable cast for bringing extra laughs to its familiar romantic-comedy setup.

Goldberg calls the film a total misfire, arguing that its farce fails to make viewers care about the characters or their predicament. He particularly criticizes the stock-like characters and the lack of jokes or investment in the wedding’s stakes.

Robinson finds the film deeply unsatisfying, arguing that its arbitrary endings undermine both the romance and its what-if premise. She praises the gorgeous Italian wedding setting and the comic energy of Tim Key and Jack Farthing, but says the leads and repeated gags drain the story of interest.
