Mostly Romance Movie Reviews
- 10 Things I Hate About You. Is this 1990's Rise-of-A-Nice-Guy-romcom a timeless classic or a time capsule?
- A Lot Like Love There's a lot to like about this Ashton Kutcher 2005 movie, especially Amanda Peet.
- Asteroid City What the heck is this movie? But it does have Scarlett Johansson!
- Babylon. The possibly real and shockingly straightforward reason for why the movie Babylon is a commercial failure (and also not as entertaining as it reasonably should have been).
- Chemical Hearts. More heavy-handed than heavy hearted.
- Definitely, Maybe My favorite Ryan Reynolds movie is definitely, maybe not Ryan Reynolds' favorite Ryan Reynolds movie.
- Fly Me to the Moon. Scarlett Johansson! I wish the writers had felt the same way.
- Friends With Benefits - The typical headhunter/prey relationship: Get paid and get... It's basically as dumb as it sounds.
- Get a Job - The greatest movie never released in theaters?
- How I found love despite being an IDIOT, part 2 This is not a movie, it's a YouTube video. But it's a romance story that shows how romance stories should be structured.
- Jane Austen Wrecked My Life trailer
- It's just the trailer for now, review will follow once it's hit the theaters in May.
- Last Chance Harvey Can a socially awkward and embittered Dustin Hoffman charm a somewhat aimless Emma Thompson?
- Love & Other Drugs - Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway stumble into love in a sea of sex and drugs.
- Lust for Love. A shy-guy fantasy undermined by over-the-top characters and confusing time shifting
- Monsoon - This 2018 movie written and directed by Miguel Furan and set in Arizona is a terrific little romantic drama. Very nice love story.
- My Dad's Christmas Date A teen daughter tries to find her widower dad a date for Christmas, but is that a good move, and is she up to the task?
- Napoleon. I explain why and how the movie “Napoleon” (2023) is trash. It's not about historical accuracy.
- Parachute (2023). Flawed people trying to find their way, each other, and themselves in a chaotic world partly of their own making in a solid movie.
- The Good Guy. An unusual and pretty good romance movie starring Alexis Bledel.
- The Gorge. A masterful trailer for an underwhelming movie, but you get to enjoy the work of actors Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy.
- The Hating Game. A girlboss fantasy.
- The Only One. A beautiful little movie that pits a restless wanderer against a down-to-earth winemaker.
- The Rebound. Hear me out: Catherine Zeta-Jones.
- The Spectacular Now. Carefree living will take you only so far in this excellent romantic movie from 2013 starring Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley.
- Twisters. An OK summer blockbuster with perfunctory romance.
- Which Brings Me to You. Lucy Hale stars in tale about serial monogamists in search of plain monogamy.
