Paula Patton is too likable to take a pathetic role like this!

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

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.

Because of all the gee-whiz glitter in your eyes, it's hard - for extended periods - not to be charmed by this largely stupid and personality-free little confection.

Slant Magazine
Writer-director David E. Talbert adapts his own 2003 novel into something as useless as it is implosive.

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

AV Club
Patton, who excels at projecting confidence and cool, can't seem to get a handle on the movie's insecure heroine, and overcompensates with broadly cartoonish gestures and facial contortions.

For a chick flick that meets the first two criteria of the Bechdel Test (it has at least two women who talk to each other), "Baggage Claim" fails the third (about something besides a man) big time.

Patton tries WAY too hard in this cute idea gone wrong comedy.

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.

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.

Paula Patton puts on the well-worn shoes of Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts, ending up with a predictable vehicle perhaps best left in lost and found.

Writer/director David E. Talbert relents to clichés but doesn't feel confined by them, like an undemanding airline passenger who can stretch out in economy class.

This "Baggage" is excess.
Full Review
| Original Score: 0/4
Painfully unfunny and entirely unromantic, "Baggage Claim" offers a woefully outdated look at the challenges of finding true love, boosted from mediocrity only occasionally by a handful of supporting performances.
Predictability and clichés get in the way of comedy here, especially with a lead character who rarely comes across as more than blandly sweet.
