What is unusual about the film is that we see both the real life of the characters, and scenes from the hero's novel

Delves into ... all the odious cliches of the romantic comedy genre, but Reiner justifies it by laughing at the ridiculousness of his own story.

Wilson is inert and lethargic... Instead of adding some comic energy and vitality to the proceedings, he seems to be sleepwalking through them.

Mesmo escrito sem maiores cuidados ou reflexões (assim como o livro de seu protagonista), o longa é ingênuo (no sentido positivo da palavra) o bastante para divertir por 90 minutos.

With its awkward blend of postmodern literary debate and formulaic romantic comedy, Alex and Emma has the unfortunate distinction of being too intellectual for stupid people and too stupid for intellectual people.

Seems to be a vanity vehicle for Kate Hudson. Think "Tracy Takes On," written by a big fan of Kate & Leopold who didn't want to seem too derivative.

Alex & Emma is the kind of Hollywood formula romance that announces where it's going in its first moments.

The worst sort of bad movie, in that it's actually two bad movies in one.
