Keith Uhlich Time Out Children’s-book author Sam Davis (Angarano) lives in what might kindly be described as Wes Andersonville: a teeth-grating land of mannered widescreen compositions and faux-witty dialogue. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Logan Hill New York Magazine/Vulture Winkler's got talent, but he set such a difficult task for himself that it's no surprise he failed to clear the high bar. Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly Yes, it's been done before (and better). But Uma lends it a sly and sexy spark. Rated: B Jun 23, 2011 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Ceremony manages to balance comedy and romance… elegant and well acted. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 9, 2022 Full Review Sean Burns Philadelphia Weekly The problem here is that I wanted to murder the protagonist. May 3, 2015 Full Review Chase Whale Gordon and the Whale Winkler is a titan at balancing comedy and drama. And Angarano is hilarious as our as our lead, channelling a young Vince Vaughn: the out of place winks, the full confidence in situations he has no way of gaining.

Audience Member It's a good film with an ok directing. I especially enjoyed the screenplay which made the characters well characterized. I didn't like Uma Thurman's acting and part. But it was funny and most of all it was realist... Not the classic film with a nosense twist.. Pretty good if you want to laugh. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Ceremony has a few laughs and it’s an OK watch but it’s no wedding crashers. The biggest problem here is none of the characters are very likable. The writing could’ve been stronger and the movie really could’ve been funnier. I didn’t really feel any chemistry at these two leads ever dated. The Director shows promise maybe I’ll direct something better down the road but as it is it’s a pretty average effort. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/21 Full Review william k Rather unfunny romantic comedy is well directed with zest, but suffers from the male lead'S thoroughly dislikeable character. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member OMG! When i first turned this on I thought I was watching a gay movie about a guy on a journey who refuses to accept he's gay while chasing after some girl who doesn't want him. His bff looked like he was is in love with him and wanted him to love him back. One of the worst movies i ever watched... uma thurman's acting was sooo flat and uninvolved... i dont think there was a single good thing about this movie... characters didnt evoke any sympathy... if would have been better if actually was about a gay guy trying to figure out who he was otherwise.... horrible horrible horrible Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Quirky, pseudo-intellectual, and stylistic, but lacking emotional grip. Angarano gives a strange performance that I couldn't quite get into or believe. Same with the rest of the cast for that matter. But there are some interesting moments that are memorable and worth seeing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie had no redeeming qualities. Zoe is a woman who doesn't have any characteristics worthy of the love of two men. None of the characters were lovable, even the plot was not enduring. There didn't seem to be any redeeming qualities at all. I was throughly disappointed. It left something more to be desired. www.what-to-watch.com Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
