'What If,' Daniel Radcliffe's first venture into the contemporary romantic comedy genre, recently opened in cinemas and it has been met with mixed but mostly positive reviews from critics.

Vulture calls the film "a romantic daydream" citing it as the kind of love story that "gets interrupted by the harsh reality of other people."

Both Vulture and New York Daily News' 'What If' movie reviews note that its central theme-can men and women remain friends-seems to be inspired from the universal friendzone question that inspired teh 90's movie, 'When Harry Met Sally.'

New York Daily News says that the "aggressively adorable" film has a quirky, indie vibe reminiscent of '500 Days Of Summer' and is filled with snarky dialogue. It's cuteness is so aggressive in fact that it might just "wind up pushing you away."

The movie, however, is saved by its cast who, according to Vulture, keeps it "romantic and light on its feet even as it depicts genuine emotional pain."

"The tense interplay of eagerness and nervousness on Radcliffe's face is hilarious, heartbreaking, and all too real," the review says about the British star who plays the medical dropout and jaded Wallace in the film. "As evidenced by both this and Kill Your Darlings, he's become expert at conveying little moments of ordinary human anxiety."

However, it's Zoe Kazan as Wallace's already-committed love interest, Chantry, who really stole the show "as she turns a character who could have easily become a collection of too-cute quirks into a vulnerable, flesh-and-blood human being."

It also praises Adam Driver as the snarky, cynical best friend, Allan-the one person who grounds the slowly falling Wallace. He brings "just the right hint of absurdism to the film."

Vulture adds, "'What If' may start off as a sweet movie about a lovelorn guy who meets a cute but taken girl. But it transforms before our very eyes into something else - a movie about someone trying to navigate her way through the real world of consequence and hurt."

The New York Daily News, however, has a more wary review as the film features several clichés in love stories: "'What If' doesn't merely embrace one of those clichés. It's so desperate to be loved that it flirts with them all."

Whether critics extol the film or think it's a convergence of all the romantic clichés ever written in history, Vulture and New York Daily News' 'What If' movie reviews agree that the cast's undeniable talent keeps the film interesting, fun, and adorable.
