When working with the stunted and embarrassingly simplistic dialogue, neither actor is able to inject any life into the mundane prose they're given.

A regrettable one night stand, I could see, but they dive unhesitatingly into serious monogamous relationships with other people during their separation. That's not the true love I remember.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 10, 2018

The story of an attachment, but without the glue.

I hated, hated, hated these people and despise writer-director Drake Doremous for wasting a brutally overlong 89 minutes of my life with them.

Full Review | May 3, 2015

A well-made film with two strong leads that never fully appreciates the romance at its core.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 30, 2013

The performances from Yelchin and Jones are admirable, but they just don't have much to work with as their characters are underwritten and underdeveloped.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 18, 2012

Like Crazy manages to capture the elusive whimsy of first love, only to beat it to death with a tedious on again/off again love story and two main characters obstinately selfish and mundane.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 15, 2012

It's more like a series of sentimental greeting cards suitable at differing stages of a relationship, from sparkling first love to broken relationship to marriage and out of it ... The screenplay is rather formless and for the most part, tedious.

Full Review | Feb 25, 2012

The film fails to explore each's new partners, and while leaving the focus on the central relationship isn't always a bad thing, when main duo fail to captivate in their own right, it feels a misstep not to have expanded the narrative.

Young love's tendresse has seldom seemed quite so irritating as it does in this largely improvised romance...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 27, 2012

Wearing its heart prominently on its sleeve, this romance tries a little too hard to persuade its audience that they too should fall in love with its star-crossed protagonists.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 26, 2012

It's like being trapped in an improv workshop run by people who share too much on Facebook.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 25, 2012

All that's left is this foolish idea that they're supposed to be together. It's like... they're crazy.

Full Review | Jan 4, 2012

The film takes the path of a formulaic romantic comedy, sans laughs, acting as though the story is compelling enough to pull us through.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 13, 2011

Tells a thin and wispy story about shallow, underdeveloped characters about whom I had a lot of trouble caring.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 2, 2011

A plastic game of love, craving displays of affected behavior over an honest deconstruction of devotion. The film is never genuine, feeling like an improvisation class project that lucked into a theatrical release.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Dec 1, 2011

A wonderful advertisement for the Canon EOS 7D camera, but also a reminder that so-called indie authenticity can be as phony as a million-dollar special effect.

Three-quarters twee and one-quarter Glee, Like Crazy won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance ... proof positive that even the film festivals can be as misguided in their selections as the notorious Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 19, 2011

Although it certainly has an interesting premise with its raw and honest look at a relationship put through the wringer, Doremus fails to make you care about his two lead characters.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

The stage couldn't be more set for a crowd-pleasing weeper. Unfortunately, Like Crazy does not live up to its campaign.
