Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net We Love You, Sally Carmichael doesn't reinvent the wheel but it consistently made me laugh. Rated: B+ Mar 11, 2019 Full Review Josh Terry Deseret News (Salt Lake City) But in spite of its Utah-specific references, Gorham's message about identity and fandom should resonate outside of the Beehive State. Rated: 3/4 Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Sean P. Means Salt Lake Tribune Along the way, [Sally Carmichael] is a fun and sweetly realized little comedy that you wouldn't be embarrassed to take your kids or grandma to see.

A Started off cute, but fell flat. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Audience Member When I saw the previews for this it looked hilarious and I thought "Finally, an enjoyable movie!" Unfortunately this movie fell completely flat. It started out okay, but wow, it dragged and just got worse and worse. I recognized one of the agents as a minor character from "The Middle". He played Frankie's boss when she worked as a dental hygienist and he was obnoxious on that show. That obnoxious-ness definitely carries over to this movie. The storyline is interesting but since when does an author's true identity warrant a major news story? It's nothing new that authors write under pseudonyms, and it's really overblown here. I didn't like any of the actors or actresses or the characters, except maybe the little girl and her role wasn't really defined until later. I hated the way the publishers were so obnoxious and mean and they seemed to get joy out of threatening to sue Sally. Once was fine, but it went on and on and on... I really should have turned it off at that point, but I was anxious to see what was going to happen. As a writer, I was just hoping to see something really fun and enjoyable but this movie is none of those things. It's just stupid and the end made me shake my head and roll my eyes. I think I even said "Oh my God, really?" out loud while watching it. Just bad all the way around. The only thing I enjoyed was seeing the bookstore-and that was only for about ten seconds. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review farah r The fact that I managed to stay invested in this movie until the end is a good enough reason to say it's good and maybe even fun. We Love You, Sally Carmichael isn't flawless but there's no denying its sweet little story and likable characters make it a great pastime on a boring day. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review brent t Delightful, insightful, relevant movie with people you care about played by talented actors including the lead/writer/director. Watched twice in row and imagine seeing several times again, sharing with family and friends, and quoting from extensively. And yes, the slap in the face to Stephanie Meyer is loud and hilarious (because it is so true!) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A fun love love story turned up-side-down by this writer, Sally Carmichael, of a hugely popular book series, who is actually actually a 35 year-old man that wants out of the contract. His ID must remain a secret for now. But when it's finally revealed his world and everybody in it gets turned upside down. Can he come out of this alive and his love interest in tact??? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I felt about this movie in the same way Just as I felt about this movie in the same way the protagonist felt about his books.
