Critic Reviews

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Sep 23, 2017

If the movie finds its pathos and laughs around the edges, Literally, Right Before Aaron finds its easy if limited appeal outside the Hollywood mainstream, where “Home Again” is somebody’s idea of what a romantic comedy should be these days. Read full review

The problem here is Mr. Long’s Adam, a twitchy knot of tics and self-pity. He invites our sympathy — especially when contrasted with the smarmy Aaron — but doesn’t really deserve it. Read full review

Characters make a lot of absurdly dumb decisions in this movie. Read full review

Abbey Bender

The film ends with a riff on the final moments of The Graduate, a frustrating suggestion of a much better work. Read full review

Kimber Myers

The audience will likely spend most of the film squirming and grimacing in recognition at Aaron’s awfulness — especially when the film rewards him with an ending that is far kinder than the character deserves. Read full review

A trite little comedy so jumbled, disconnected and bad you can’t believe it doesn’t star James Franco. Instead, it fritters away the talents of the charming Justin Long, a seasoned and resourceful actor who deserves much better. Read full review

It’s painful to watch. Not because no one cares about Adam’s heartache. But because the movie is boring, trite, sexist tripe that wants to make the viewer empathize with a guy who’s actually pretty aggressive in his pursuit of loserdom. Read full review

I had hopes because of the cast but this comedy is a boring mess that goes nowhere and it's not really funny at all.
It's amazing how promising stories end up so bad.
