Village VoiceChris PackhamJul 2, 2013
Writer-director Josh Boone populates Stuck in Love with smart characters breaking from emotional holding patterns of varying contours. Read full review

New York PostLou LumenickJul 4, 2013
This romantic dramedy tries to cram enough plot twists for a season’s worth of TV episodes into an hour and a half, but is still worthwhile for its fine performances, including the best work that Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly have done in quite a while. Read full review

McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreJul 1, 2013
It’s just romantic enough and barely funny enough to qualify as a romantic comedy. But it works, despite never being graceful or unstuck enough to take flight. Read full review

Time OutSam AdamsJul 2, 2013
The movie’s not especially urgent or inventive, but it has small moments of grace. Read full review

EmpireHelen O'HaraJun 13, 2013
It’s no masterpiece, but this is a promising debut from Boone and a good showcase for his entire cast. Read full review

The TelegraphTim RobeyJun 13, 2013
It’s a thoroughly warm diversion, whose lapses into cliché only make it cosier. Read full review

Total FilmEmma JohnstonJun 9, 2013
The ending may be a little too tidy and obvious, but this is a sweet little study of the right royal mess people can make of relationships when they let their own neuroses take over, and a warm tribute to overcoming them. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeMar 19, 2013
Endearing performances buoy predictable film about love in the wake of divorce. Read full review

Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerJun 19, 2013
The movie aims for an admirable balance, but fatally upsets that equilibrium in its hurried resolutions. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloJul 3, 2013
As writer-director Josh Boone introduces these characters, he superimposes words on the screen to suggest how they channel their thoughts and conversations into their work. But that’s the extent of the film’s interest in writing, which serves strictly as a “classy” backdrop for a series of painfully contrived amorous meltdowns among a family who might as well run a dry-cleaning business.

The New York TimesStephen HoldenJul 4, 2013
Although Stuck in Love is an indie film, it hews slavishly to Hollywood formulas. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierJul 4, 2013
All those cliched literary trappings come together in Stuck in Love, but the final product feels more like a footnote than a finished work. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawJun 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. Read full review
