A tender rom com that I enjoyed right from the start when Sasha shuts her door in the face of Marcus until the credits during which Marcus sings his memorable encounter. The success of the film owes much to the actors playing the two main protagonists, either teen or adult, as well as the wacky and awesome presence of Keanu Reeves, as a repulsive guest star. The characters are globally endearing and transform this conventional story in a delightful rom com.

Plot summary
Childhood friends Sasha and Marcus have a falling-out and don't speak for 15 years. But when Sasha, now a celebrity chef in Los Angeles, returns to her hometown of San Francisco to open a new restaurant, she runs into her old pal--a happily-complacent musician still living at home and working for his dad. Though the two are reluctant to reconnect, they soon find the old sparks--and maybe some new ones?

Yes!
Fun, lighthearted yet shallow
A get-together, break-up, and get-back-together type romcom film.
Always Be My Maybe is lighthearted, funny, and genuine. Everyone has genuine chemistry that is noticeable beyond the film.
The only thing that broke my suspension of belief is the fact that Marcus is still able to somehow survive San Francisco living costs with only a HS diploma. Like...how?
Did love that extra Asian-American representation though. And that ending is 10/10 beautiful.
(And if y'all haven't noticed from everyone else's reviews, there is a surprise cameo that basically steals the show.)
3/5. Fun, lighthearted romcom to watch during a rainy Friday night. Don't expect a deep script or too many underlying symbolism. Turn your brain off and enjoy the show.
cute romcom
Cute rom com about two people, Sasha and Marcus (Ali Wong and Randall Park) who knew each other in childhood and early teen years and reconnect 15 years later.
Sasha is now a celebrity chef, and Marcus is still living at home and working for his father. They aren't that excited about getting together.
There are some sweet moments in this film, but the funniest scene takes place in a restaurant with Sasha's hot date, Keanu Reeves. He is HILARIOUS. The whole restaurant set-up is a riot. Park says something like "I just ate a $640 meal and I'm starving." The movie is worth seeing just for that part.
Very pleasant.
