When We First Met fits into a category of films I’ve come to think of as “Groundhog Day” movies, similar to Palm Springs and Russian Doll—though the latter is a short series. These are also sometimes called time loop movies, but I prefer my description, which was even used by Joe Torre to explain how his Yankees lost two championship games in a row. It’s an example of life mirroring art. I generally liked the film…

I wouldn't normally go for something like _When We First Met_, and honestly, the only reason I saw it was because Alexandra Daddario is in it. Still, I ended up being rather favorably impressed. It wasn't enough to make me suggest it to everyone, but it addressed several issues that I often dislike about American romantic comedies. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
