2/4
Meyers must have been truly in love with his story to carry it all the way to development. But for anyone else who watches the film, it will be hard to remember it as anything more than a brief, middling affair. Go to Full Review

More sort-of character study than passionate exploration of an affair, How He Fell in Love is a rather one-sided relationship. Go to Full Review

Despite Travis and Ellen's breezy, walk-and-talk chemistry, Meyers wisely prizes the moments when the two are trading wordless glances, trying to decipher each other's in turn. Go to Full Review

1/4
A well-intentioned yet thoroughly tedious misfire... Go to Full Review
Alexander Huls National Post 08/05/2016
1/4
Moments in the script - a first kiss or flowering of guilt - occur so abruptly, it's as if emotional context was never considered. Go to Full Review

03/05/2017 Worth watching on a slow night, not earth shattering but not a Lifetime movie either. See more 01/15/2017 Not much to say. I enjoyed it though. See more 07/18/2016 HHFIL is a tastefully presented love story. It was great! Artistic. Acting genuinely real and human. I could feel the actors feelings. They portrayed their experiences together so well. Cinematography of Ruben O'Mally was exceptional and different from most movies. Matt McGorry (Travis) acted well in his "loving." It felt very real. Amy Hargreaves (Ellen) was excellent, her emotional contribution to film extraordinary. I felt Travis and Ellen did really care about each other. Their acting was genuine and loving. - I can't wait to see Marc Meyers' next film, "My Friend Dahmer." It will be a film of extraordinary proportions. See more 07/18/2016 I loved this movie. No bells and whistles or Hollywood hijinks - only an honest look at what happens in real life when people find themselves faced with less than convenient romantic entanglements. Great story line, beautifully acted and artfully directed. See more 07/17/2016 A great film with really good acting from the whole cast. It avoided being a cliche romance-- felt unscripted and natural. It had a nice, sort of unpredictable ending that was believable and not all- Hollywood-ish. See more 07/17/2016 Beautifully filmed. Beautifully acted. Romantic, real, sexy and gives audiences lots to think about See more Read all reviews
