Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Emphasizing cutesy quirks over genuine emotion, this romantic comedy is a rather conventional exploration of relationships and self-discovery. Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net they actually have decent chemistry. The problem is the script doesn’t give them much to do. Jan 5, 2025 Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media Even if you judge this romantic dramedy by Hallmark standards, it falls short. Chosen Family is boring, repetitive, and uninteresting. Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture Graham’s only impressive feat is having made a movie in which not a single character resembles a functional human being. Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies Chosen Family, though, is so focused on trying to be funny that it's never sincere—or funny... Rated: 1/4 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Graham’s screenplay can’t decide if it wants to be wacky or sincere. Rated: D Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Clever G While there are some worthwhile lessons in this movie, it’s packaged in a super boring film. with some really bad acting. Heather Graham was the best in this movie, but she couldn’t save this. Love Julia Styles, but wow. So bad. Waste of a good hour+ if my Sunday. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Enrique P Heather Graham is amazing in this. The girl's been working since the 90's and she's still got it. Whatever this movie lacks, she reels it back in. I honestly don't get the hate this gets. There's twenty movies that are worse than I can list off. Graham works very well with the cast and I love her character. She is a triple threat in this: director, writer and actress. I love the indie vibe of this, it has an A-list actress in a rather low budget indie film and it works for me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review A C Cute movie for a light Saturday night hang out Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Slow moving story that you hope goes somewhere but never really does. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Andre R I really enjoyed the movie, not sure why the critics don't but I had a good time wathcing Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Bernard D Fun movie. Good cast. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
