Critic Reviews

David Sterritt

Alex & Emma isn't nearly as clever as Reiner's classic "Misery," a very different look at a male writer and his female companion. But it's diverting fun. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Angel Cohn

Hudson and Wilson share a natural and easy chemistry that helps compensate for the Cuban-mobster subplot. Read full review

Kevin Carr

Too much of Alex & Emma is an overt attempt to recreate the lightning in a bottle Reiner achieved with “When Harry Met Sally.” Read full review

Scott Tobias

The movie and the movie-within-a-movie share a chemistry even more awkward than that of their flat-footed leads. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Emma writes everything down and then offers helpful suggestions, although she fails to supply the most useful observation of all, which would be to observe that the entire novel is complete crap. Read full review

Desson Thomson

The inside story is weak, dull and head-poundingly boring, and the outside story is only slightly better, thanks to the lukewarm likability of its two stars. Read full review

Kimberley Jones

Astonishingly dull. The leads have zero chemistry, the supporting actors are even worse, and the script is a lifeless, draggy thing. Read full review
