ReelViews James Berardinelli What If is adequate cinematic junk food for romantic comedy lovers. It's not smart enough or funny enough to attract a wider audience. It feels very much like a film festival movie that doesn't play nearly as well in a local multiplex as it does within the isolated bubble populated by adoring die-hards. | 13 | |
