There are laughs to be found in Baggage Claim but they most definitely come at the expense of anything resembling reality.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 2, 2020

It was hilariously bad.

| Apr 24, 2020

It's like eight different scripts in one.

| Apr 24, 2020

Talbert sneaks in a few funny one-liners and genuinely touching scenes, but he mostly seems content to keep Montana scurrying through a meaningless maze of boring rom-com cliches.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 7, 2018

Though silly and far-fetched, Baggage Claim remains an enjoyable romp, mostly due to its ensemble's energetic playing and writer/director David E. Talbert's breathless pacing.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 29, 2017

The film does not miss a beat with the placement of pivotal characters.

| Aug 15, 2017

Honestly, I don't know what to say about this movie, because it feels so phenomenally old-fashioned and outdated, so ridiculously conservative and undermining of female independence.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Jan 9, 2017

Baggage Claim focuses too much on plot and too little on character.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 23, 2016

Dutifully assembles crowd-pleasing cliches and chick-lit tropes as if following instructions from an IKEA rom-com catalog.

| May 5, 2015

A tired and manipulative comedy, this new film is one of the most creatively-inert flicks of the year.

| Original Score: .5/5 | Dec 24, 2013

There must be better material out there for [Paula Patton] somewhere.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2013

If the dating process depicted here is humiliating for the character of Montana Moore, it's liberating for Paula Patton: The actress reveals herself to be a sort of sexier Lucille Ball, agreeably sacrificing her dignity in pursuit of laughs.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 23, 2013

It's fun in a dumb kind of way, but it sets feminism back several decades.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2013

As the end credits finally rolled, the best review was uttered by a woman in the row behind me: "This is the kind of movie they'll show on Starz in a couple months and you'll watch when you're really bored."

| Oct 14, 2013

An utterly anodyne romcom with nothing to surprise and less to offend.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2013

Talbert adapted his script from a novel he wrote in 2003, which you have to assume had wipe-clean pages and a squeaker hidden inside the front cover.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 11, 2013

A serious contender for the worst commercial release of 2013.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 11, 2013

A plot and a script that would be better aired in a cheesy ballad, or even a hairspray commercial.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 10, 2013

Patton is sunny and likeable but her behaviour is bonkers and the movie nose-dives towards oblivion.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 10, 2013

Romcom fans deserve something with more heart.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 10, 2013
