It Had to Be You ultimately demonstrates enough cleverness and inventiveness to make it more than a by-the-book entry in a genre that's become more than a little stale.

Cristin Milioti is so quirkily endearing in the lead role that she makes it easy to just go with the airy tale.

A memorable romantic comedy that stands to bring back the genre's good name, "It Had to Be You" is as funny, endearing and enjoyably off-kilter as its adorable star, Cristin Milioti.

This silly romantic comedy may find an audience among the 30-something crowd but will make little sense to anybody else.

I couldn't even get through ten minutes of this movie. Not a good sign when the first scene shows the main character on the toilet. Ugh, just no....

Quirky and adorable. There were lots of tears and a lot of laughs along the way.

I'm not one for Romantic Comedies in general, find them all too similar, but I really enjoyed IT HAD TO BE YOU. As a young woman, I definitely think this taps into most people my age's psyche: do I really want to spend the rest of my life with this person, am I settling, is my partner settling? It's an extremely honest look into relationships and dating in the 21st century.
