Description

Sonia is a quirky, neurotic jingle writer who has always dreamt of a big and exciting life. Surprised by a sudden proposal and subsequent ultimatum from her easy-going boyfriend, Chris, Sonia has three days to decide whether she'll join the ranks of her married friends or take a leap and pursue her fantasies. Blinded by anxiety, and pulled towards a fantastical idea of becoming the kind of woman she always idealized in films and literature, Sonia decides she isn't ready to get married. Instead she will go on a solo trip to Rome and finally shed her inhibitions. However, reality quickly catches up to her as her journey proves a lot bumpier than the idyllic “Eat Pray Love” she’d envisioned. A whimsical romantic comedy that's raunchy and yet gentle, "It Had To Be You" explores the choices women face today while satirizing cultural expectations of gender and romance.

    This is an ok movie. The plot had some difficulties (the trip to Rome idea was just bad), but all in all nice waste of time for romcom fans.
  • Boring!

    All the reviews I read raved about this movie....maybe it's an age thing, but I found it to be rather boring.

    This movie is so refreshing! Lots of laugh out loud moments, and still has a lot of heart. It's awesome to see an awesome, adroable, goofy, relatable female protagonist. But it's definitely a move for both men and women...I think anyone can relate. Loved it!
  • Delightful

    Funny, Endearing, moves at a clip, great characters, interesting take on marriage fears. Such a breath of fresh air compared to most Rom-Coms out there!
  • Small Marvel of a Movie

    Gracefully tiptoes the line between LOL humor and heartfelt emotion. Refreshes the rom-com genre while heralding its past. Merges modern values with timeless one. All in 80 minutes. I loved it!
  • Utterly Winning

    Laughed throughout. And cried a little too... Reminded me of what a great romantic comedy can be. Cristin Milioti is a gem!
  • Freaking love this film!

    So cute and funny! Cristin Millotti is adorable, the jokes are funny, and good for the director for making a film that subverts the run of the mill kind of rom coms that are out these days!
  • Superb!
