Love is in the air as Peacock's Meet Cute is prepping itself for its premiere on Wednesday, September 21.
Directed by Alex Lehmann, Meet Cute revolves around Sheila and Gary, who meet and instantly fall in love. However, their magical date wasn’t fate but Sheila’s time machine, which means they’ve been falling in love over and over again.
While the perfect night is never quite enough, Sheila travels to Gary’s past to change him into the perfect man. The film is expected to be a fun watch until it takes a dark turn.
Twitter reacts to Meet Cute's trailer
The trailer for Peacock's Meet Cute dropped yesterday and received mixed reviews everywhere. The preview featured Sheila meeting Gary at a bar one night, where the two seemed to hit it off instantly as if they innately knew each other, even though they'd never met before.
As it turned out, it was not simply fate. Sheila later admitted that they shared such seemingly-effortless chemistry because the woman was ultimately tipping fate in her own favor.
She had the magical ability to go back in time via a magical tanning bed, which allowed her to dictate how a night out would go with this available bachelor.
Twitter users wasted no time in sharing their opinions and predicting the plot line of the film. Some fans weren't too thrilled with the cast and the film's preview, tweeting:
Others seemed impressed and excited about this collaboration between Davidson and Cuoco, tweeting and expressing through gifs and memes:
Director Alex Lehmann shared:
"If I had a time machine right now I’d be torn. Do I skip ahead to our release date or do I go back and relive the joy it was making this film? Lucky for me it’s a decision I don’t get to make. I’m excited for audiences to get swept away on this wild romantic ride exclusively on Peacock."
