PolygonTasha RobinsonApr 21, 2023
This is a rom-com, formulaic and comforting and breezy, with some action trappings, but with no expectations that anyone needs to care about the results of that action. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinApr 21, 2023
[Evans and de Armas] take the film’s ridiculousness just seriously enough to keep barreling through while navigating the more puckish bits with the requisite charm and buoyancy. Read full review

ColliderNate RichardApr 20, 2023
Ghosted is far from perfect, but there's still enough enjoyment to be had, especially if you're looking for something light to watch with the family on a Friday night. Evans and de Armas are charming as ever alongside a rock-solid supporting cast. There are enough laughs and fun action scenes to warrant a recommendation, just don't expect much more from it.

CNNBrian LowryApr 21, 2023
“Chris Evans and Ana de Armas” is about all that’s required to make the sales pitch for “Ghosted,” a spirited if familiar action-based romantic comedy, where the sparring banter generally outshines the muscular stunts. Throw in clever cameos and this Apple TV+ movie delivers on its promise of unpretentious fun. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreApr 20, 2023
Ghosted manifests itself as a pleasantly amusing piece of cheese, embraceable for the breezy time-killer it is. But if they dare decide to franchise it, they’ll need a writing upgrade for that to come off. Read full review

Total FilmJamie GrahamApr 21, 2023
The fast and furious action is a bit plasticky, but the two starry leads bring some real sparks. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyApr 20, 2023
Fletcher conducts the high-speed chase more than competently, but it’s the sparks generated by de Armas and Evans that keep it buoyant. Read full review

Paste MagazineJesse HassengerApr 20, 2023
Ghosted is a little breezier and less blatantly synthetic than the plastic Red Notice or the smirky Gray Man, but put together these failed attempts at action-packed romance still feel like a psy-op for the superhero industrial complex: With star vehicles like these, maybe movie stars will have to stay in capes forever.

TimeStephanie ZacharekApr 21, 2023
There are no surprises here, just the pleasant ectoplasmic shimmer of a formula you’ve seen a million times before, vanishing almost as soon as the end credits start rolling. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperApr 21, 2023
Alas, you can spend nearly two hours watching the slick, cynical, vapid and brain-numbing actioner “Ghosted” on Apple TV+ and find yourself regretting the decision pretty much every predictable and overblown step of the way. Read full review

Boston GlobeMark FeeneyApr 20, 2023
Rom-com turning into bomb-com (there are lots of explosions) is a funny idea. But since neither the rom-com nor the bomb-com is much to speak of, Ghosted isn’t either. Read full review

TheWrapTomris LafflyApr 20, 2023
Sure, Ghosted feels mostly awkward, but everyone seems to be in on the joke for some shameless fun. And that’s all you might get from this movie, a little pick-me-up before you ghost it forever. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichApr 20, 2023
This gender-swapped riff on “The Spy Who Dumped Me” was shot like a car commercial, lazily borrows from an obvious litany of actual Hollywood blockbusters, and constantly betrays the fact that it was made without any real financial interest in actually being good. Read full review

Screen RantMae AbdulbakiApr 28, 2023
The story has no heart, genuine romance, or humor, the spy subplot is mechanical, and the actors don’t mesh together as well as you might expect. All told, Ghosted doesn’t even meet the lowest standard for what would make a romantic comedy remotely decent and that is disappointing considering the talent involved. Read full review

EmpireHelen O'HaraApr 21, 2023
If you’re going to take a hugely familiar premise and rely on easy star chemistry to sell it, you really need the right stars in the right roles and a killer script for all the killing. Sadly this ain’t quite it. Read full review

The PlaylistRodrigo PerezApr 21, 2023
It’s incredibly soulless, disposable, and as generic as they come. Read full review

The A.V. ClubLuke Y. ThompsonApr 20, 2023
There’s a funny notion in Chris Evans effectively playing a damsel in distress, but like everything else in Ghosted, the filmmakers have no idea how to play it. Read full review

SlashfilmJosh SpiegelApr 21, 2023
On paper, Chris Evans and Ana de Armas would seem like a perfect romantic-comedy couple, but their chemistry in this film is nonexistent. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanApr 20, 2023
The movie is a romantic action comedy that starts off light and breezy but turns, before you know it, into a dead-weight spectacle of wretched excess. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonApr 20, 2023
The action is plentiful, but not particularly well-executed (though lots of extras are), and neither Mr. Evans nor Ms. Armas is really a comedian. Read full review

The Daily BeastNick SchagerApr 20, 2023
Featuring not a single convincing element or exchange, this fiasco plays like a wannabe-Knight and Day exercise in eliciting annoyed reactions. Read full review

ObserverDylan RothApr 24, 2023
Ghosted, the new feature film on Apple TV+ from Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, and director Dexter Fletcher, is 50% romantic comedy, 50% action blockbuster, and 100% forgettable. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleApr 20, 2023
Ghosted is repellent without ever quite being obnoxious and worthless without ever being boring. Read full review

The TelegraphTim RobeyMay 5, 2023
The film thinks fame alone is a substitute for wit or charm, and might just as well have outsourced every last role to a hologram. Read full review

Rolling StoneMarlow SternApr 21, 2023
What When Harry Met Sally made clear is that the keys to a good romcom are a tight, witty script (RIP Nora Ephron) and likable leads that can make it sing. Ghosted, like so many modern-day romcoms, opts for the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach. Sometimes less is more, Hollywood. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeApr 20, 2023
Ghosted is content dictated by algorithm at its absolute, industry-shaming worst, so carelessly and lifelessly cobbled together that we’re inclined to believe it’s the first film created entirely by AI. Read full review

The IndependentClarisse LoughreyApr 20, 2023
There is no chemistry, sexual or otherwise. Read full review

RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiApr 21, 2023
This film is so smug and self-satisfied that you can practically feel the contempt everyone involved with its production has for its audience. Read full review

The New York TimesCalum MarshApr 20, 2023
This tedious, unfunny, screamingly unoriginal romantic adventure film is so flimsy and so insubstantial that it’s practically vaporous. Read full review
