David Ansen Newsweek The movie, which ricochets between farce and poignancy, casts just enough romantic pixie dust to leave you smiling. It's certainly not the last word on the subject, but it's an amiable start. Mar 12, 2018 Full Review Antonia Quirke London Evening Standard It pays homage to the great pulse of warmth still, 27 years later, being given off by Annie Hall, and Keaton basks in the attention. You can hear the beat of her triumphant heart. Dec 20, 2017 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Delightful comedy, older teens and parents only. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies ...a romantic comedy classic... Sep 14, 2021 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site The film is dangerously slender and predictable, the happy ending apparently unavoidable. One can see the latter coming from a considerable distance, but one is helpless to do anything about it. Feb 15, 2021 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) A refreshing romantic comedy crowd-pleaser where the lead characters are not only unafraid to look their age, but they quite often act it too. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 19, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Monique P very lovely movie ❤️ a must seen you will enjoy it love keanu reeves Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Jami C This movie was so bad, the only reason I kept watching was because I kept hoping it would get better. I honestly don’t understand the good reviews other than maybe its nostalgic value for people. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review D E Kenton acts like a 12 year old girl. Bad sitcom. Nicklson is the only saving grace here. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Fabrícia F Diferentes histórias de amor entrelaçadas pelo acaso. Perfeito para os amantes do gênero. Engraçada, leve, romântica e interessante. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Fachrul Ulum F So why she chose nicholson, not Reeve Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review J I really enjoyed this one. It was really funny and had a lot of heart. I would love to see a return to the PG-13 rom-com that seems like they had a blast making. There are a few scenes that should be cut out because this is more of a mature PG-13, but I enjoyed it overall. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
