Perfectly adequate airplane reading.

Full Review | Jul 5, 2013

Cliched literary trappings come together in "Stuck in Love," but the final product feels more like a footnote than a finished work.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 4, 2013

Although "Stuck in Love" is an indie film, it hews slavishly to Hollywood formulas right down to its comfy Thanksgiving Day ending. It's all so easy, isn't it?

Just like most romantic comedies (though this is more of a "rom-dram"), Stuck In Love. believes nothing is worthier than refusing to give up after you've been rebuffed in no uncertain terms.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 4, 2013

Worthwhile for its fine performances, including the best work that Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly have done in quite a while.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 3, 2013

Writer-director Josh Boone populates Stuck in Love with smart characters breaking from emotional holding patterns of varying contours.

| Jul 2, 2013

The movie's not especially urgent or inventive, but it has small moments of grace ...

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

Immensely likable but a little too tidy in its emotional payoff, the movie benefits from its charming, empathetic ensemble.

Full Review | Jul 2, 2013

The movie aims for an admirable balance, but fatally upsets that equilibrium in its hurried resolutions.

This is the heartfelt indie-schmindie piece that The Perks of Being a Wallflower desperately wanted to be but wasn't.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 14, 2013

First-time director Josh Boone gets performances from his cast but fails to make the story about first loves and second chances work.

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

This is Kinnear's best role in a few years, and Connelly's, too: her attempts to win back Collins's stroppy prodigy have an emotional generosity her acting has lacked lately.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 13, 2013

Boone does little to convince that these characters are genuinely sensitive, intellectually superior, or more importantly, that their talents play any real part in alleviating/causing their worldly stresses.

| Jun 13, 2013

The sharp edges of the story are sentimentally sanded down; there's a fair bit of slush, and it's a pretty quaint view of what writers and a writer's life are actually like.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 12, 2013
