...often works...because of the effort director Michael Dowse (Goon) and his cast have put into making the characters seem sweet and believably charming...

What does work is the connection between Radcliffe and Kazan. They are so adorable with their mutual big-eye stares and doll-size stature...

Screenwriter Elan Mastai’s offbeat trimmings help massively, too (love the Elvis death-snack recipe), and despite the film ending as you’d expect, it impressively manages this without any horrendous narrative cheats or cop-outs.

I 'What If' forsøger Elan at udforske, hvad der sker, når timingen aldrig er rigtig, selvom personen er det – hvad stiller man op, når man er et bundgodt menneske, der ikke vil rode sig ud af kærlighedens uetiske vildveje?

...Radcliffe has finally shed the wizard’s cloak and put on the casual garb of an unpretentious, leading romantic man. And it’s a good fit.
