"A Novel Romance" supplies a response to the question, "Is Steve Guttenberg still working?" but leaves unanswered the natural follow-up: "Why?" Go to Full Review

Steve Guttenberg is probably supposed to be a lovable loser in "A Novel Romance," a drab, clumsy film by Allie Dvorin, but he can manage to be merely annoying. Go to Full Review
Ronnie Scheib Variety 11/10/2011
The literary conceit [adds] tired self-deprecating narration and arch chapter titles to the romantic-comedy mix. Go to Full Review

Bahad j 07/06/2024 It was a really good movie. Very instructive. I really liked it. I will watch it again later.Also, I really like the small details of the movie. See more 04/06/2020 No ending. Watchable, but you miss the last hour and a half of your life. See more 04/22/2013 Not great, but not as bad as the critic reviews would have you believe. If you can look past a few VERY awkward scenes, which are due more to bad script/editing/directing than acting, this isn't that bad. Steve Guttenberg isn't the world's greatest actor, but he gets a bad rap. There's a lot more to him than Carey Mahoney. Unfortunately, he didn't have a lot to work with here. I still enjoyed it for what it is, a mediocre romcom with the happy and the sad. See more 07/01/2012 This was a sweet story, but the cast was all wrong for it. See more 06/23/2012 Steve Guttenberg is getting too old to play the lead in a romantic comedy like this. The story was not even that well thought out as it was not even remotely realistic. Who is their right mind would just randomly stay at someone's house because their ex died and you had met once before? It's super strange and not even the side story of his writings makes it make any sense.
