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.

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.

Full Review

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.

There's no way you will fall in love with Baggage Claim, but there's a good chance you'll like it.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

A few tweaks here and there, and this good movie could have been a very good and even great movie. As it is, 'Baggage Claim' ultimately succeeds chiefly because Patton is so appealing in the lead role. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)

Full Review

A pleasant, if predictable, romantic comedy trading in the same sort of moralizing and colorful characters of a typical Tyler Perry production. The only thing missing is a sassy, self-righteous, pistol-packing granny in a dress.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Isn't terrible and is actually pretty charming - but it feels dated and strictly sticks to the established genre format, playing out like a dusted-off script Jennifer Lopez had sitting on her shelf since the early 2000s.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

The plot is so non-threatening it actually becomes abusive.

Full Review

There's little chance of finding realism or romance, but the laughs are there.

Full Review | Original Score: 6.6/10

A wildly contrived but pleasantly frothy romcom about a youngish single woman on an urgent search for Mr Right.

Full Review

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.

Full Review

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

Packs light and plays it safe.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

"Baggage Claim" isn't so much a movie as it is a pastiche of rom-com cliches.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

"First of all, this is the stupidest idea ever," someone says, in Baggage Claim. Unfortunately, nobody listened.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

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

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

The worst movie of the year so far. Period.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Baggage Claim should be left behind at the carousel.
