Very little that anyone here says, or does, has the slightest connection to any known reality, and if a film is going to perform an autopsy on love, the corpse should at least be recognizable.

Reviews for The Trouble with Romance
1 - 11 (sorted by critic A-Z)
Top CriticAdds nothing new or fresh to our understanding of sexual politics.
02/27/09
The performances are convincing, and director Gene Rhee does a good job of outlining the messiness of human affections here, showing how we don't always know what we really want or how to get it.
02/26/09
Top CriticAn airless, fragmented feature that's been kicking around since 2007.
02/27/09
Top CriticIf He’s Just Not That Into You is a film for women who want to be lied to, then The Trouble with Romance offers a conniving counterpoint for men.
02/26/09
This unsexy quirky quartet of talky tales, is a mixed bag of fantasy stranger sex in a threesome with Frisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom, um, selling her seat no less, elevator existentialism, and all around bad relationship karma.
02/26/09
Omnibus Hell, decidedly not romantic, and reaching an absolute nadir with a scatological sequence to (hopefully) end them all.
02/27/09
Often drags with poorly developed characters, awkward pacing and stilted dialogue that has no new or refreshing insights about love, romance or modern relationships.
02/28/09
The roaring void of talent doesn't stop.
02/24/09
Top CriticA Cinemax skin flick without the skin.
02/24/09
Ever fast-forward through a late-night cable romance just to get to the good parts? This amateurish relationship dramedy features all the stuff you'd skip, and nothing else.
