Stuck in Love Movie Review: | |
| Starts sit-comish but as it becomes more complex it takes on a somewhat literary tone. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve So contrived and tidy that it's not remotely believable. Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall The movie aims for an admirable balance, but fatally upsets that equilibrium in its hurried resolutions. Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine The film has its sharp moments but is invariably glib when it comes to literary matters and the relationship between books and life. Philip French-Observer [UK] Given that it deals with a spectacularly dysfunctional family, writer-director Josh Boone's romantic comedy-drama Stuck in Love is surprisingly warm-hearted and cosy. Jason Best-Movie Talk This is the heartfelt indie-schmindie piece that The Perks of Being a Wallflower desperately wanted to be but wasn't. Tara Brady-Irish Times First-time director Josh Boone gets performances from his cast but fails to make the story about first loves and second chances work. Derek Malcolm-This is London writer/director Josh Boone has made a quiet romantic fantasy, complete with downbeat indie soundtrack, which in its own way is as unrealistic as any blockbuster but a perfectly pleasant watch. Karen Krizanovich-Radio Times This is tedious fare. Best avoided. Rob Carnevale-The List Far too tidy to be believable, this multi-strand romance holds our attention with a warmly comical tone and a watchable cast. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com Hugely watchable from the shock beginning through to the clever mix of end-of-lifecycle events and renewed opportunities ( ... ) a class above what passes for the average romcom today. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail This is Kinnear's best role in a few years, and Connelly's, too: her attempts to win back Collins's stroppy prodigy have an emotional generosity her acting has lacked lately. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph Boone does little to convince that these characters are genuinely sensitive, intellectually superior, or more importantly, that their talents play any real part in alleviating/causing their worldly stresses. David Jenkins-Little White Lies Enjoyable and engaging relationship comedy drama enlivened by likeable performances, a strong script and some appealing location work, though it's also a little too pretentious for its own good in places. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon It all plays out a bit like a feature-length episode of Dawson's Creek - pretty teenagers wandering around romantic locations spouting over-written dialogue. Andy Lea-Daily Star The sharp edges of the story are sentimentally sanded down; there's a fair bit of slush, and it's a pretty quaint view of what writers and a writer's life are actually like. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] Unfashionably un-cynical, it's a labour of familial love from first-time writer-director Josh Boone whose simple style well serves a story of sweetness and wit. Tim Evans-Sky Movies A sweet little study of the right royal mess people can make of relationships when they let their own neuroses take over, and a warm tribute to overcoming them. Emma Johnston-Total Film As dysfunctional as its family of scribblers despite tiny bites of charm from the cast Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie A sweet tale of love, loss and life with solid performances from a first-rate cast. Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age | |
