If anything saves Heartburn from disaster, it is the occasional visually comic surprise and a few very funny lines.

...a mostly stirring endeavor that fares better than one might’ve anticipated.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 22, 2022

You get the impression its meant to be funny, in that sardonic half-chortle sort of way, but nothing ever quite lands.

Heartburn is another example of the crisis American cinema is undergoing. [Full Review in Spanish]

I really enjoyed Heartburn, despite the fact that the storyline seemed to go nowhere. I wouldn't have wanted to miss Meryl Streep's performance for anything.

The food-sex jokes come off half-baked.

| Original Score: C | Nov 23, 2015

'80s comedy-drama has mature themes, profanity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 9, 2014

This is the most disappointing film of the year, considering its pedigree -- a Mike Nichols film from a Nora Ephron script, starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 16, 2013

Decently (but no more) acted by Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson, this marriage on the rocks melodrama, based on Nora Ephron's memoir, is ultimately shallow and verbose.

| Original Score: C | Jun 2, 2012

Grabs you by the heart and doesn't let go

Unlike the babies that [Meryl Streep] carries convincingly through Rachel's pregnancies, the story has little weight.
