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

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.

Overall, Can You Keep A Secret forges its identity as a serviceable romp for those who enjoy films based on postfeminist fiction.

...a reasonable-enough, romcom-friendly premise that’s employed to pervasively underwhelming effect...

Rated: 1.5/4

Treats sensible human behavior as a foreign language it doesn't speak.

In order to keep the joke running, they have to render the character virtually voiceless.

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.

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
