When We First Met is a Netflix original movie currently blowing up Netflix.

It begins on November 1st, 2017, in a lovely townhouse, at an engagement party for Avery and Ethan, a lovely young couple. As Avery explains that they met on this day exactly three years prior, the camera pans to a dorky-ish dude with the look of a deer caught in headlights, holding a champagne glass, as he’s trying to hold it together. Apparently, he and Aubrey met one day sooner, three years prior at a Halloween Party on 10/31/14. And while they have the best “first date” ever, our unlucky hero Noah immediately gets “friend-zoned”. And if that wasn’t heartbreaking enough, the very next day, indirectly because of Noah, Avery meets Ethan.

And then something between BIG and Ground Hog’s Day happens. Noah, in his sad little state goes to his job and stumbles into the photo booth, the very one he and Avery took pictures in 3 years prior, and he makes his wish to go back and “get the girl of his dreams”.

Low and behold, he wakes up, on 10/31/14, and off Noah goes to seize his chance. Without saying much more, on to the ratings.

One Kitty Paws because I truly enjoyed this movie.
One Kitty Paw because the characters are likeable.
One Kitty Paw because there aren’t over the top adult scenes or moments. It’s an even flowing movie.
One Kitty Paw because my husband sat down to watch and muttered “I doubt I will make it through but . . .” he did and enjoyed it too.

I am NOT sure what I believe, exactly. But I do think sometimes, things really are meant to be and that Fate/Destiny will find a way.
