Quartile rating: 6.5/10 · 1 rating
Reunited after 15 years, famous chef Sasha and hometown musician Marcus feel the old sparks of attraction, but struggle to adapt to each other's worlds.
Always Be My Maybe is a charming romantic comedy that benefits from genuine chemistry between Ali Wong and Randall Park, who also co-wrote the script. The plot follows a familiar rekindled-romance arc but is elevated by its specific Asian-American cultural lens and sharp comedic voice, making it feel fresher than most genre entries. The acting is warm and naturalistic, with a memorable Keanu Reeves cameo stealing scenes. Cinematography is functional and pleasant but unremarkable for a Netflix production. The ending is satisfying if predictable, delivering exactly what the genre promises without particular invention.
