Harden's role in this groan-worthy dramedy is so dreary and ill-conceived that even her formidable talents can't bring it to life.

A romance novel of a movie featuring the world's most stereotypical librarian.

Austin Chronicle

Predictable but never coy about it, After Words speaks to the fateful connection that sometimes occurs between two people under the most improbable circumstances.

Rated: 3/5

Marcia Gay Harden is wonderful in a role that shows what can happen to loneliness clouded in despair when one finds that love and joy are always just a stones throw away. Beautifully acting couple with desire to book a trip to Costa Rica like yesterday

Delightful. But just because I loved it, don't take that as an indication of it's ending - a good story can lead to many destinations.

Kind of schmaltzy, but I got a little teary-eyed in spite of myself.

Costa Rica was a beautiful setting to end her life, but ex-librarian Jane didn't count on it waking up her dead soul. This is a bit slow and completely predictable with a sweet ending so not an overall waste of time.

Scenery was nice. Oscar Jaenada was pretty. But Marcia Gay Harden was a stereotypical cat lady. The romance came out of nowhere. And did we really need to her boobs?
