As the pair of childhood BFFs, Claflin and Collins are almost charming enough to distract from a confused and childish plot, but Love, Rosie still has a lot of growing up to do.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 31, 2019

"Love, Rosie" is one of those annoying movies in which everything would be just fine if the two central characters had a simple conversation that cleared up all their misunderstandings.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 6, 2015

Love, Rosie's early charm fades by the end, given that, as time (and the movie) wears on, neither Rosie nor Alex get any more mature when it comes to matters of the heart.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 6, 2015

Constant fuchsia lighting can't make this setup warm.

Do you really want to expose your adolescent daughter to 100 minutes of the beautiful Lily Collins accepting second-best, over and over and over and over and over and over and over again?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 5, 2015

A visually pleasing film, given to framing the characters in dappled sunlight that peeks through windblown leaves. It's a pity the rest of the project is so poorly executed.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 5, 2015

Watching lifelong friends, clearly destined for each other, miss the romantic boat over and over is entertaining at first, but soon their tortuous and silly road to the inevitable provokes only impatience.

| Feb 5, 2015

The problem isn't that Rosie and Alex aren't charming; in fact, they're both thoroughly nice and endearing and attractive, so much so that I lost interest in them pretty quickly.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 5, 2015

"A Styrofoam heart and an embarrassingly juvenile worldview guide 'Love, Rosie,' the latest pit stop for rising stars Lily Collins and Sam Claflin."

| Original Score: 30/100 | Feb 5, 2015

Every action both parties take, over roughly a dozen years, seems motivated by the understanding that there'll be no movie unless they do it.

| Original Score: C | Feb 5, 2015

The good-hearted and intermittently sweet Love, Rosie attempts through sheer force of will to convince viewers that its good-looking protagonists are a good match.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 4, 2015

The message is more pedestrian than passionate: Life is long, and full of instant messages.

| Feb 3, 2015

Ditter has made a handful of popular comedies in Germany, and while he's able to maintain a certain rhythm and polish, there's ultimately nothing in Love, Rosie that distinguishes it much from your average in-flight movie.

| Nov 6, 2014

What all this adds up to is a film with the consistency of fairy floss, enjoyable provided you're not expecting substance of any kind at all.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 6, 2014

It's not entirely unlikable, but there's nothing here to match the charm of the movies this imitates, nor justify the mood swings that it signally fails to negotiate.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 26, 2014

Maybe Dublin collectively dissociated itself from the project. Who'd blame it?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 24, 2014

Collins has a gamine-like quality reminiscent of a young Audrey Hepburn but her effervescent charm isn't enough to hide the chronic absurdities in the storyline.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 23, 2014

Love, Rosie is a cheery, sweetly funny will-they-won't-they teen rom-com that rolls on through the more complex twenties of Rosie (Lily Collins) and Alex (Sam Claflin) as their friendship, which began aged five, teeters on the cusp of love.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 23, 2014

Amid the bungles, Collins is a bright spark.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 23, 2014

Never before has one script screamed so loudly for a Carrie Fisher rewrite; anything at all to inject a little wit, decency or soul.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 23, 2014
