Then Came You has a little of every romantic film that you’ve seen in the past two decades, and even though it’s not quite original, it still is a good film that will give you a lump in your throat. The talent in front and behind the camera are reasons alone to give this film a watch.

There are some solid supporting performances in small dramatic doses (Koechner, Hochlin, and Walger) and comedic ones too (Jeong, Venskus, and Tituss Burgess do well in mostly thankless roles), but the topline trio is where Then Came You is at its best.

As familiar as the path Then Came You generally takes might be, it’s got lots of clever laugh-at-death touches, a few sparkling surprises and a gut-punch third act “reveal.”

Although it features strong performances and some affecting moments, Then Came You suffers from the sort of cutesiness endemic to so many teen-oriented films, not to mention an over-reliance on montages accompanied by a pop music soundtrack that helpfully reminds you exactly what you're supposed to be feeling at any given moment.

Since the filmmakers’ hearts are clearly in the right place, it’s a shame its parts couldn’t knit together a bit more seamlessly. The narrative’s lifeblood is the sweet friendship that develops between Calvin and Skye — and the actors’ magnetic chemistry keeps that alive.

In the overstuffed plot of Then Came You, Skye’s terminal illness isn’t even about her. Her life merely serves as a lesson for Calvin to overcome his fears and seize the day. It’s a shame this manic pixie dream sick girl can’t even get her own movie.

Is Asa Butterfield going to cement his entire career playing the same quirky guy? To tell you the truth, I'm getting sick of that. This little film uses a narrative resource that's both dull and manipulative, which of course makes it completely conventional. It doesn't offer much, and you can dismissed it quite easily.
