When We First Met (2018)

“Relationships are about intangible things. They’re about moments.”

No known awards.

Max: Things happen for no reason at all, but they create opportunities.

Noah: I’m talking about fate.
Max: Fate is a tricky lady. When you try to figure her out, you just get more confused. Listen, all I know is the mistakes I’ve made, and the ladies I’ve laid have made me who I am today. If I were to go back and relive it differently, I wouldn’t be me. And I like me.

Noah: There’s been times when you’ve hated me, and there’s been times when you’re hit me with trees, and then, there’s been times when… you’ve been my only friend.

Carrie: Ever keep spinning around in the same relationship, over and over, and it’s just going nowhere?

Noah: Relationships are about intangible things. They’re about moments. The real moments and who you share them with. And the realest moments that I’ve had over the past three years have been with you.

Noah: I’m stuck here, and the girl that I love is dating someone else. Is that what you’re saying?
Chad: Yeah. Story of my life.
Noah: No, it’s not the story of your life, because you’re not a time traveler, Chad!

Noah: So, do you believe all that?
Carrie: Believe what?
Noah: All that stuff about them finding each other and falling in love, all in one night?
Carrie: I don’t know. I mean, normally I’d call bullshit, but some things are meant to be.

  • Once Adam was cast as the lead, the producers asked him to review the script and rewrite it to suit his comedic style.
  • Due to scheduling conflicts, Alexandra Daddario only filmed for 2 weeks, as she had to shoot We Have Always Lived in the Castle (2018) afterward. To accommodate this, many night shoots ran 16-plus hours to film all the Halloween party scenes.
  • The song that Noah sings once he figures out that he’s in 2014, and has the chance to redo his meeting with Avery, is “Back in Time”, which features significantly in another time-traveling movie: Back To The Future.
  • Carrie repeatedly snaps a photo whilst saying “candid”, ultimately making the shot appear staged. It isn’t until she stops trying to manufacture those moments that she actually gets the candid shots. This is mirrored in Noah’s journey: forcing a relationship fails, but allowing it to develop naturally endures.
  • Noah travels back and forth in time via a photo booth. Coincidentally, Carrie, the girl he eventually ends up with, is a photographer.
