Meet Cute, Peacock‘s original rom-com starring Kaley Cuoco and Pete Davidson, takes a fun, fresh approach to time loops. Instead of stepping into a typical time machine, our protagonist Sheila (Cuoco) repeatedly hops into a nail salon tanning bed to travel a mere 24 hours into the past. Why? She wants to relive one perfect day, during which she goes on a first date with a guy named Gary (Davidson). What starts off as a sweet, romantic romp unfolds into a layered, unexpectedly emotional story. You’ll find satisfaction in the film’s unpredictability and unfamiliar essence. And fans of HBO Max’s The Flight Attendant will delight in watching Cuoco play yet another hot mess. Meet Cute has its intense moments (I mean how many times could you repeat the same day without spiraling?) but it’s a dreamy watch with stunning cinematography, exceptional use of string lights, and charming performances from both leads.
