The Romantics is visually accomplished, but director Galt Niederhoffer's adaptation of her own novel never finds the passion on the page or offers audiences a reason to invest in these limp love affairs. Read critic reviews

... a very pretty movie that has no idea how silly it is.

The script fails to establish the likability of any of the main characters, which dulls the sense of urgency during the dramatic moments.

What ensues is a couple of days of confession and mild debauchery. It's all sketchy and banal.

It's possible that Niederhoffer was too close to her novel to stand back from its excesses. She's made a seriously self-indulgent movie about self-indulgent people.

[It] somehow skirts utter loathsomeness by dint of its elegant camerawork and a few finely tuned performances. I'm not suggesting you run out to the theater and see this, but if it comes on cable someday and you have a big pile of laundry to fold...

Instead of Rachel Getting Married with an Oscar-nominated Anne Hathaway, we get Galt Niederhoffer's misbegotten, miscast snoozefest with Katie Holmes struggling to prove that there is life as an actress while still being Mrs. Tom Cruise.

Apr 28, 2012The only good qualities about this movie were the excellent cast and the amazing soundtrack. It was quirky in that things happen in this movie that don't normally happen to average people. The song that played while the bride walked down the aisle was a sort of an American Bandstand song you might hear at a pro-football game complete cheerleaders dancing and heavy on the bass drum and stare. There was a beautiful song that played when the groom cheated on his fiance the night before the wedding (Bedouin Soundclash's song, "Brutal Hearts") which I added to my collection as soon as the movie was over. The conclusion is open-ended and I don't like that about movies... I like all loose strings tied. ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY cheated on their husband/fiance in this movie and no one seemed to care, either. It was annoying. That doesn't happen in real life. In real life, people get upset. It would have only got one star for the storyline but I give it an extra half a star for the good music and performances.Dannielle A Super Reviewer

Dec 29, 2011Watched half of this on the plane. Character and plot development were both hazy, annoying, pretentious and unconvincing. The best thing I got out of this was watching Josh Duhamel be sexy for an hour and adding the sultry Bedouin Soundclash song, "Brutal Hearts" to my library.Letitia L Super Reviewer

Aug 10, 2011It's an all-star cast crammed into a movie that should've never made it off of the pages of the book and onto the silver screen.Gregory D Super Reviewer
