Critics Consensus

Home Again gathers a talented crowd of rom-com veterans on both sides of the camera -- all of whom have unfortunately done far better work.

Cute, funny, at times a little more realistic than some romantic comedies, and Reese Witherspoon is just great!

Simply an awful movie. Nancy Myers is a huge disappointment with this bomb. The story line is horrible, the production is horrible, yes there is not much to save this movie. Even Reese has little impact on this terrible show. Please don't bother to spend a penny or a minute of your time.

okay i am expecting that Alice will ended up with Harry but surprisinly it happened to be nothing in between to them that makes me disapointed to the director. Harry did all of his best for Alice and Alice still thinks that Harry is such a youngman and too young for life, and so I rated it 3 in a half, actually it's pretty entraining just the ending makes me give it a 3, so if they ended together I'm gonna give it a 5 star, so that's all somewhat entertaining, relatable,realistic events happening in actual lfe lastly about age doesn't matter, like it explain here what will happen in real life to a may-december(age gap)love affair, so that's all i actually enjoy it. the actor Harry is audacios handsome, echt.

That's the lasting impression this movie left on me: there are good people in the world; ordinary good people, not superheroes.

Home Again doesn't seem to be particularly concerned with story development - probably a fifth of the movie is made up of montages, all jaunty music and well-lit actors more fitting in a sunscreen commercial.

Rated: 1.5/5

It all amounts to precisely nothing. It's not us, rom-com: it's you.

...a decent-enough premise that’s employed to watchable yet pervasively forgettable effect...

Rated: 2.5/4

Next Best Picture

A film that's not romantic enough for you to care, and not funny enough to make you laugh, "Home Again" barely qualifies as a rom-com. This is a movie that, while inoffensive, isn't worth your time.

Rated: 3/10

It's the wistful Reese rom-com that you expect from it.
