An Affair to Remember Reviews

An Affair To Remember works a fine line between comedy and drama but Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr keep audiences entertained.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2023

I gasp at all the right moments and smile when she looks up at Grant with stars in her eyes but I am also floored by the dramatic scenes where she completely lets go of her composure.

| Feb 3, 2023

Here, there's still an acceptable freshness around what could have been a detrimentally dubious twist.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 15, 2020

A screen romance that never fails to melt the hardest hearts.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 17, 2020

McCarey plays the shipboard courtship for generous and tender laughs-the wryly staged first kiss is one of the sweetest in all cinema-but the comedy that follows on dry land is mostly inadvertent.

| May 22, 2017

...the viewer's efforts at connecting to the material or the characters are consistently thwarted by the lackadaisical, momentum-free narrative.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 22, 2014

a satisfying romance that works from beginning to end, featuring movie stars of the day that you just can't help but adore

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2013

'Weepies' may not be high art, but for those who love them, An Affair to Remember is the Mona Lisa.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 22, 2011

surprisingly tedious

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 28, 2008

Often regarded (or dreaded) as the ultimate chick flick, due in no small amount to its fetish-object role in Sleepless in Seattle, An Affair to Remember deserves better than to be the receptor of Meg Ryan's crocodile tears.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 20, 2008

Cheapened by the many references in Sleepless in Seattle, An Affair to Remember plays much better than you might imagine.

Mr. McCarey's direction is unpropitiously and unaccountably slow.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 25, 2006

Not much to remember.

| Original Score: C | Jan 27, 2006

Starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr in the Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne roles, Leo McCarey's remake of his 1937 Love Affair has some touching moments but is not as good as the original movie, which is one of Hollywood's best romantic melodramas.

Soap opera-ish Cary Grant/Deborah Kerr starrer still tugs at heart.
