Movie Info
Determined to get engaged before her youngest sister's wedding, flight attendant Montana Moore (Paula Patton) finds herself with only 30 days to find Mr. Right. Using her airline connections to "accidentally" meet up with eligible ex-boyfriends and scour for potential candidates, she racks up more than 30,000 miles and countless comedic encounters, all the while searching for the perfect guy.

A romantic comedy so light and brainless you almost expect it to float away.
Top CriticMan, "Baggage Claim" is terrible.
Nothing in this movie would actually happen, so what's irritating is that it presents itself as a savvy, "Am I right, ladies?" dating commentary.
"Baggage Claim" is so archaic in its depiction of feminine self-worth-and, frankly, so insulting-it's amazing that it's coming out in 2013, not 1963.
A painfully predictable romance, and a terribly unfunny comedy.
A shrill, embarrassing comedy that insults the female audience for which it is intended.
If you're the type of person who can offer a three minute impassioned defense of Fool's Gold or more than five reasons why Just Like Heaven is worth grabbing out of a five dollar bin, paying to see this movie is far from a horrible idea.
The film is aggressively shallow and superficial in its attitude toward contemporary romance, and it hardly presents a realistic portrayal of the plight of single women. But at least it's equally insulting to members of both genders.
Patton is best at contagious bliss. She might be the best at it. When she smiles, you smile. You want her to have what she wants even when how she wants it is stupid.
A lame comedy that looks like it was made - and belongs - in the 60's. Despite a game cast this movie is broad without being even remotely believable.
Packs light and plays it safe.
A harmless romance-fantasy that avoids normal rom-com gender double-standards, misogyny, and/or misandry - but with gooey life-lessons that are only partly earned.
Built around unimaginative direction and an even less imaginative script, it's a textbook example of a formula film. Still, there are minor charms to be found.
There's so much sincere sweetness and flighty fun that writer-director David E. Talbert, star Paula Patton, and all involved earn their old-fashioned happily ever after.
"Baggage Claim" isn't so much a movie as it is a pastiche of rom-com cliches.
"First of all, this is the stupidest idea ever," someone says, in Baggage Claim. Unfortunately, nobody listened.
There's no way you will fall in love with Baggage Claim, but there's a good chance you'll like it.
The performers all wring what they can from this lackluster script, but the final result is a dumb if pleasant film.
The worst movie of the year so far. Period.
Baggage Claim should be left behind at the carousel.

Top Headlines
Baggage Claim has come from a long line of romantic comedies featuring impossibly beautiful women with problems finding love. It is annoying to have to say something like, "take my words with a grain of salt, as this is not my preferred genre," but it is true. Baggage Claim is definitely a film that is made for an audience that is into these kinds of clichéd romantic comedies, which feature attractive casts and the bare minimum requirements to develop a premise that slightly differs from those that came before it. One can throw the "hypocrite" label at me all they want, when I recommend a horror movie that feels ever so similar to another one and does not do a whole lot new, but what can I say? Some movies just do not work for me, especially when I have examples of similar ones that do. Baggage Claim may work as easy entertainment for some, but there is very little here that had me legitimately enjoying the film.
