Baggage Claim Reviews

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.
Movieline
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.

ScreenRant
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.

Times-Picayune
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.

The performers all wring what they can from this lackluster script, but the final result is a dumb if pleasant film.

Top CriticA romantic comedy so light and brainless you almost expect it to float away.

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.
