Leave your thoughts about Cha Cha Real Smooth.
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiDismiss “Cha Cha” as yet another heartwarming comedy at your peril because every single person in it has layers upon layers of complexity. |
| We Got This CoveredScott CampbellCha Cha Real Smooth is perfect because it never set out to be anything close to a rom-com. Raiff focused instead on what it is that brings people together, which has more to do with attraction than anything else in cinema. |
| ColliderRoss BonaimeWith only two films, Raiff has proven himself to be one of the most exciting filmmakers today, telling stories that are emotionally honest and lived in, without any pretensions and with an unabashed tenderness. |
| The Film StageJake Kring-SchreifelsIt’s hard to find movies—no matter their scope—that grasp and depict the human experience with the kind of honesty and dexterity Raiff has committed to the screen so far. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerIf Raiff's first film was about two neurotic characters learning to get out of their own heads, then Cha Cha Real Smooth is a tenderly bittersweet story about a couple learning to use theirs. |
| SlashfilmBen PearsonEven if its archetypes might feel overly familiar, the formula works for a reason, and when anything is executed with such pure-hearted joy and affection for its characters, you can't help but smile. |
| TheWrapCarlos AguilarAvoiding the sophomore slump, Raiff’s delightfully sigh-worthy Cha Char Real Smooth is the type of sincere enterprise that could easily be spoiled with hackneyed platitudes or simplistically rose-colored plot points, yet here it sings with a wondrous candor and an unforced dramatic rhythm that turns it mightily irresistible. |
| IGNMatt DonatoCooper Raiff dances around complex emotions with the smoothest of steps in Cha Cha Real Smooth, sliding into the definition of feel-good filmmaking. |
| The A.V. ClubMark KeizerCha Cha Real Smooth has an unforced charm and lack of guile that’s refreshing and stops just short of being precious and ingratiating. |
| Film ThreatAlan NgCha Cha Real Smooth is a series of reflections on life. |
