3/4
It's tempting to say that Aram Rappaport's Syrup sticks, but it's also true. Go to Full Review
Bruce DeMara Toronto Star 07/11/2013
2/4
Syrup is an unsatisfying blend of romantic comedy and scathing social satire, slamming the high-stakes games of product marketing and sales. Go to Full Review
Stephanie Merry Washington Post 06/27/2013
The actors are young and beautiful, the soundtrack kicks and the camera zips around with precision. But the script never seems to match the carefully orchestrated mood. Go to Full Review
Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal 03/01/2019
Syrup does nothing to challenge the stereotype but instead embraces it in an outlandish farce. Go to Full Review

3/10
A great performance from Amber Heard can't save Syrup from its half-baked, sluggish script and obnoxious complacency. Go to Full Review

Shirley C 06/20/2023 ...to the core. I'm surprised I could even give this syrupy movie a half star. See more 07/15/2022 It's a budget film & it shows but for what it was it was entertaining enough. The concept is good. Could've been executed better but its held together well enough by the two main actors. To tell the story. See more 07/09/2022 Amber is hot, smoking hot, while 10 years ago when this was filmed, no so much now. But she's not a good actress unless she's playing a sl*t, wh*re, manipulative b*tch, whatever, something she doesn't have to act at, but where she is herself, then she's a golden globe. I still loved looking at her during this horrible movie...but she's very beautiful on the outside, that is for damn sure, but she's as dark as the depths of hell in her soul.... The movie has a good idea, but I think they overpaid for Amber and couldn't afford to put this movie totally together or something like that...its painful to watch its' that bad... She doesn't even take any clothes off at all, so this is really a 1 star, and to think she could have made this a 5 star with just a few moments of no clothes...that is all this would have taken.... See more 12/27/2021 I don't really think Amber heard is that good, but in this everything else is so bad she looks decent. Never gonna carry a movie, especially one this bad. See more ben n @Bneffer 10/22/2021 This movie had promise - it didn't live up to most of it in the end, but the witticisms and cleverness from the book is there for the first 2 acts. It is visually appealing but vapid, and it's supposed to be. The book is better. I just wish it had a worthwhile ending. Also 6 is inexplicable weak in the end, but then I think she is not really a person but a metaphor anyway. She really is just he salesmanship and nothing else is there. Just when I am about to give up on this movie, I had this thought - it is up to Scat (us) to chose that path of enticing empty promises, or not. See more 01/08/2021 Amber Heard is a shitty actress and horrible human being. "They won't believe you, because you are a man" She is NOT a victim. See more Read all reviews
