Good movie! Loved every minute of it. Funny, warm, and well-written, "Juliet, Naked" is a perfect vehicle for the many talents of Ethan Hawke, Rose Byrne (didn't know she was British; is she?), and Chris O'Dowd. Good soundtrack, too. StayedGood movie! Loved every minute of it. Funny, warm, and well-written, "Juliet, Naked" is a perfect vehicle for the many talents of Ethan Hawke, Rose Byrne (didn't know she was British; is she?), and Chris O'Dowd. Good soundtrack, too. Stayed to watch the credits so I could come home and find a few of the songs, such as "Mixed Up, Shook Up Girl," which I hadn't heard in years. Ethan Hawke sings a few of the songs, too. A feel-good movie with a lot of heart and a few really good chuckles.… Expand

And I was not disappointed. Juliet, Naked turned out to be a thoroughly entertaining, funny, character-driven film. It is a very, very funny and very, very human romantic comedy, which I guess you would expect from a film based on a novel by Nick Hornby (author of About a Boy). But everyone deserves credit here, since a film like this is very difficult to pull off without it becoming maudlin or annoying. Lots of fun – and very truthful too.… Expand

I really enjoyed this movie! It is rather unsung, but so charming and delightful. It is about three middle aged people who can’t seem to get their act together. Rose Byrne is Annie. She has been with her boring boyfriend for 15 years, butI really enjoyed this movie! It is rather unsung, but so charming and delightful. It is about three middle aged people who can’t seem to get their act together. Rose Byrne is Annie. She has been with her boring boyfriend for 15 years, but it seems there has never been a big reason to move on. Chris O’Dowd is Duncan, the boyfriend, who is obsessed with a former rock star who disappeared years ago into obscurity. He hosts an internet band of groupies who talk and speculate endlessly upon various aspects of Trevor Crowe’s works and his personal life. Ethan Hawke is Crowe, a man who had a lot going for himself in his younger days, but gave it all up. Duncan’s latest blather about Crowe’s masterpiece of work, an album titled “Juliet, Naked,” draws much chatter from his obsessed fan friends. However, one lone voice of dissent draws an unexpected response and sets the movie’s storyline on its eventual trajectory. This movie is sweet and often laugh out loud funny. It is character driven and all three characters are beautifully played by these three wonderful actors. We all loved it and recommend it!… Expand

I think that people expecting to see big-budget Hollywood romantic comedy are going to be disappointed. This is a lighthearted and well-executed film about how three adults who are stuck in a rut learn to get on with life.

The movie avoids complicated plot twists, zany antics, and characters with undeveloped brains. Instead, the comedy is thoughtful and clever and sometimes subtle.… Expand

Chris O'Dowd and Rose Byrne play a couple in a long, but losing relationship. He's obsessed with a semi-obscure rock singer (Ethan Hawke), but she's the one who ends up making contact.

He's obsessed with a semi-obscure rock singer (Ethan Hawke), but she's the one who ends up making contact. The plot is predictable, but the characters that makes it charming. The slowly developing romance puts Byrne and Hawke in a warm glow, with O'Dowd providing gentle humor (and some cute charms from Azhy Robertson, as the son). This film won't win any awards or break any records, but it's a sweet little diversion with engaging performances.… Expand
