Cath Clarke Guardian Elise Duran's adaptation of a Sophie Kinsella chick- lit novel gives us a kind of unromantic noncom, a movie with no believable characters and worrying few laughs. Rated: 2/5 Apr 29, 2020 Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I'm kind of amazed that this movie still gets made today -- it feels like a throwback to really vapid, perky late-90s romantic comedies, like something you'd watch while laying back on the couch with a cold or the flu. Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Courtney Howard Variety Overall, Can You Keep A Secret forges its identity as a serviceable romp for those who enjoy films based on postfeminist fiction. Sep 14, 2019 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a reasonable-enough, romcom-friendly premise that’s employed to pervasively underwhelming effect... Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 1, 2024 Full Review Matt Pais MattPais.com Treats sensible human behavior as a foreign language it doesn't speak. Rated: D May 2, 2022 Full Review Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 In order to keep the joke running, they have to render the character virtually voiceless. Feb 22, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Al k A charming romantic comedy that blends humor and heart effortlessly. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Audience Member Was a cute rom com movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Catherine J This is one of my all time favourite Books and this films was 100% absolutely shocking. Absolutely devastated how bad it was!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Hilife Health Care r Despite other reviewers, I thought this was a tremendous movie. Alexandra Daddario and Tyler Hoechlin were terrific as the leads. The supporting cast was excellent, great production and direction make this a 5 Star movie. Do not miss it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review terry s Good romcom movie, don't get the reviews, give it 5 minutes and decide for yourself. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review JC C The problem with this film is that it deletes more than half the source material. Structurally, a major plot point in the novel comes after about 80% of the book. Here, it comes before the halfway point, so there isn't enough build-up to give it weight. Most of Emma's characterization is removed, including her loveable loser life, her family, and her career struggles. As one example, her boss in the book is a man who overlooks her work and refuses to replace the department secretary. Here, it's a trans woman making sympathetic faces and having little function other than being the token LGBTQ+ character. Emma's family is a HUGE piece of the book, adding much to her self-doubt and low self-esteem. Again, gone. Adaptations can be tricky. This one didn't have to be. There is room for story, backstory, and characterization. It's just been taken out for no good reason at all. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
