WHAT IF is my favorite new Radcliffe movie. This is a new take on a romance, with a bit of added artistic anime I guess that is really well done and beautiful.

Many romance movies are essentially about infidelity. The girlfriends, boyfriends and spouses are just sort of extras in the way of the love story. This always makes the story less romantic to me. At least this movie doesn't deny it, since the issue of cheating is actually talked about throughout the movie. Wallace has a friend Allan whose current relationship started with cheating, and neither Allan or his girlfriend Nicole seem to see anything wrong with that, quite the contrary.The writing is good and there are some genuinely funny moments with Wallace and Chantry joking with one another. I also like the scene where Chantry's bitchy-but-not-completely-evil sister is about to tell her a vicious lie about Wallace but then apparently changes her mind mid-sentence and ends up turning the story into a joke, saying something like "and then the cops came and Wallace shot them all in the head, he's such a jerk".I don't get the comparisons to "When Harry met Sally". Wallace has a crush on Chantry from the first time they meet, and it's hardly one-sided either, so theirs is never a real friendship like that of Harry and Sally. This movie is also nowhere near as sweet, most of the characters don't come out very likable at all, and it's just not as good either.

The plot revolves around the same old Rom comedy about Wallace ( Daniel Radcliffe) and chantry ( Zoe Kazan ) whose has a boyfriend already met the hero and try to be friends and atlast how they got in love is all about story. Since it is a simple old fashioned story there is nothing I have to recommend to watch it. I watched this type of movies many but they some good moments but this movie I don't think so Positive - nothing except Daniel Radcliffe Negative - a) The way they the story goes draggingb) The camera works is also not colourful c) the casting Final verdict: If u nothing except so much u can watch it once

What if, starring Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan, is a nice, heartfelt romantic comedy. The story starts of with meeting the two leads, Wallace (Daniel Radcliffe) and Chantry (Zoe Kazan). Wallace is in need of love, and is torn between becoming a friend of Chantry's, or her lover. The problem, is that Chantry is all ready engaged to someone else. The acting in this movie was quite surprising, as Radcliffe, who is slowly being seen as a normal actor, instead of Harry Potter, plays the part of Wallace well, and stays in character quite well. Zoe Kazan also plays the part of Chantry quite well. The two strong performances by the leads, is one of the big factors why this movie was good. I also felt that Adam Driver played the supporting role perfectly, as he was the easygoing best friend of Wallace, and was one of the reasons why this movie was funny. The one problem with the characters, however, is that they are relatively clichéd, and hardcore movie watchers may not be too fond of that. The one place where the movie could have made a much better improvement, was taking more advantage of using Toronto as the main backdrop. Truth is, a lot of movies do not take place in Toronto, and the idea of using it as a backdrop was perfect. The problem was, there could have been a lot more scenes in Toronto, as Toronto is realistically a great spot for young adults to live. In conclusion, What if is a nice, heartwarming movie, that is well acted, but missed out on the Use of Toronto as the backdrop.
