Geoff Berkshire Variety A misguided indie romantic comedy to watch with someone you hate. Nov 24, 2014 Full Review Kate Erbland The Dissolve All Relative fails to engage because the emotional connection between all parties is weak to nonexistent. Rated: 1.5/5 Nov 24, 2014 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Although the resulting tonal shifts between funny and serious aren't always executed as seamlessly as they might be, Khoury deserves props for defying rom-com conventions more often than he succumbs to them. Nov 20, 2014 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews An affable yet forgettable romcom... Rated: 2/4 Jun 12, 2015 Full Review Jordan Adler We Got This Covered Dull, dim-witted and with scenes that drag long past their appropriate endpoint, All Relative is a pedestrian romantic comedy that wastes a good cast. Rated: 3/10 Nov 19, 2014 Full Review Matt Pais RedEye Introduces one far-fetched idea and then frustratingly refuses to expand on it. The premise suffocates the movie. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 18, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

victor o I'm a fan of Connie Nielsen and watched this movie because she was in it. All things considered its a good time waster, with Connie Nielsen being one of the best things about it. A young man(Jonathan Sadowski) having relationship issues meets two women in one night. One is a young woman(Sara Paxton) who is bright, pretty and sets his heart a flutter, but she's already in a relationship that seems to be stable. He is rejected but manages to get her phone number as he later meets another woman(Connie Nielsen), older but intoxicatingly beautiful and stood up. The two have a fling in which they share their interests and heartbreak, as the older woman ironically helps out with her lover's attempts with the young woman. The fling between the two ends up with some discord when the young man ends up with the young girl. The two young lovers eventually fall for each other and in what is a simple meet the parents' situation, becomes an embarrassingly awkward revelation. The young woman's mother is the older woman he had a fling with. A rollercoaster of emotional truths and lies are uncovered between not just the young man and women but also the older woman's husband. This is a story of relationships that might sound comical, which it is, but also fear of commitment and various social norms. I got to say its funny at times but its something I couldn't accept. Both lovers should have gotten to know each other better before having sex, but then what else is new? Still, I enjoyed seeing Connie Nielsen, funny as well as easy on the eyes. I'm not a fan of Jonathan Sadowski but I have seen him before in other works and he's pretty memorable. Sara Paxton plays a real person instead of the cute girl next door neighbor stories I've always seemed to find her. An okay movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Some funny parts and surprises, but the last half of the movie was strange and boring. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Didn't laugh once....... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Claude H Terrible, lousy not sure what to call this mess Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/16 Full Review Audience Member terrible acting about a guy banging a wife and then dating her daughter Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Slightly funny and interesting if you've watched all the good movies.
