        What If is the story of medical school dropout Wallace (Daniel Radcliffe), who's been repeatedly burned by bad relationships. So while everyone around him, including his roommate Allan (Adam Driver) seems to be finding the perfect partner (Mackenzie Davis), Wallace decides to put his love life on hold. It is then that he meets Chantry (Zoe Kazan) an animator who lives with her longtime boyfriend Ben (Rafe Spall). Wallace and Chantry form an instant connection, striking up a close friendship. Still, there is no denying the chemistry between them, leading the pair to wonder, what if the love of your life is actually your best friend? The ensemble romantic comedy costars Megan Park and Oona Chaplin.

        The dialogue is believable and funny, even if strays a little too often into the grotesque eating and toilet habits of the late Elvis Presley.

        For a kid who grew up in public and is worth an estimated 60 million, Daniel Radcliffe does a convincing job of playing a normal guy.
        Rafer Guzman
        Director Michael Dowse ("Take Me Home Tonight") can't quite decide on a tone -- sly, whimsical or wacky? -- but the problem is the material.

        "What If" flies by on the instant and lasting chemistry between leads Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan.

        Screw these types So sick of so called love story movies, life never happens like that. The sweet guy nev er wins, looks matter most followed close by cash. An last of all, why are the love story where a girl screws multiple partners and it's a "love story" though when it's a guy that does so, he is the dog of the film.

        Sweet, good performances, avoids cliches I'm not a romcom fan but I do love me some Harry freaking Potter. Radcliff brings his A game here and Adam Driver is hilarious eye candy. Worth a watch.

        Awesome! Loved this movie!! Haven't cared for romantic comedies in a while but this one is great. The two leads are very convincing and act great together. Love just about anything with Daniel Radcliffe in it. Just the right amount of wacky quirkiness too. Highly recommend!

        Removed?? I've been waiting on this one to go back on sale for a few months. Great movie! Strong performance by Radcliffe and Kazan. This movie isn't available for purchase at the Play store and hasn't been for some time. Def. a must have for the collection and I'm definitely getting it but who know's when it will come back to the store??
