Despite the off-putting blandness of its poster, soundtrack, and setup, About Fate proves surprisingly charming. Old pros (especially for their relatively young ages) Mann and Roberts manage to sell some significant character flaws.

If you set out to combine the worst parts of Hallmark holiday movies with the worst parts of frenetic ‘90s rom-coms, you’d probably wind up with something a lot like About Fate.

Like many other branches of the horror genre, the romantic comedy finds itself on life support proposing things like this in which the catastrophe is not only how simplistic its plot is, but how it basically forces all the situations that occur in it and above all how it forces the chemistry between its main characters. It is not wrong to look for love, but it's wrong to look for it in such a pathetic way.
