John Anderson Wall Street Journal Dec 5
The texture of the picture, as well as some camera moves straight out of the ’70s, makes this Jay Duplass-directed anti-rom-com into an instant retro-holiday chestnut, a double eggnog with a small-batch bourbon chaser. Go to Full Review

Yet the story manages to put a smile on your face from time to time, despite the gloom of its humor. Go to Full Review
Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 5
It’s light on its feet but gradually gathers real emotional weight. It’s also beautifully shot and steeped in atmosphere. We walk away from it feeling like we’ve actually been somewhere and felt something. Go to Full Review
Blake Howard One Heat Minute Dec 11
3.5/4
A man stands in the blue-black Baltimore cold, a little frayed at the edges, carrying the kind of wide-open heart John Candy used to smuggle into every frame. That’s Michael Strassner in The Baltimorons... Go to Full Review
Chuck Bowen Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Dec 6
This movie has soft spots, but it’s also beautiful and generous. Go to Full Review
Sebastian Zavala Kahn Ventana Indiscreta Dec 6
4/5
A delightful romantic comedy filled with funny moments, believable problems, and often witty dialogue. It doesn't reach the heights of some other recent Christmas productions, but that doesn't mean it's not worth a watch. [Full review in Spanish]. Go to Full Review

John M Oct 19 A very pleasant and entertaining movie. The development of storyline that might seem unbelievable on paper becomes natural thanks to quirky characters and excellent acting that smooth the path into a very comfortable story.

See more Ken Oct 1 Great story with many existential and relational overtones that were very thought-provoking. The movie was very engaging and fun to watch. See more Sam Sep 27 Just saw this at an independent theatre in Baltimore and the crowd erupted in applause at the end. Very heartfelt, relatable, and hopeful. Wonderful performances by the leads. I was not familiar with Michael Strassner before but glad to be introduced to his work. He is so endearing in this film. See more mlh Sep 24 A real love letter to Baltimore!
