| Baret NewsKam WilliamsFinally, a relatively-sophisticated, female-centric comedy revolving around romance rather than raunch. What a refreshing treat! |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderAs nepotism-based filmmaking whims go, this one is more harmless and less wasteful than most. |
| Cultured Vultures Danielle SolzmanA passable rom-com that might provide a few laughs. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattWitherspoon can easily carry an entire movie in her dimples, but it’s hard not to measure Alice against a role as richly written as her recent turn on "Big Little Lies." Here, she’s mostly just a winsome proxy for midlife wish fulfillment — a bubbly brunch mimosa you drink up before the fizz is gone. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Julia CooperHome Again is a tight, witty script from a first-time director with a long list of hits ahead of her – and, of course, the golden age of Hollywood dynasties lighting her way. |
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiWhat puts the bonkers premise of Home Again inside the realm of possibility is the brilliant casting of Candice Bergen as Witherspoon’s mom, a former cinema siren. |
| Chicago TribuneKatie WalshHome Again" is pure fantasy, all softly-lit, perfectly styled, looking like the cover of Sunset magazine. A world where a 40-year-old single mom is pursued by no fewer than four handsome men. But within that fantasy is also a wonderfully deft demonstration of feminine autonomy in matters of sex, love and marriage. |
| Film InquiryMatthew St. ClairHoem Again is an unfortunate disappointment filled with wasted talent and muddled storytelling. |
| MetroGregory Wakeman... despite its obvious flaws, you still can't help but feel warmed by it. |
| We Live EntertainmentScott MenzelHome Again is a throwback to what I consider the lost "romantic comedy" genre. Everything nowadays has to be vulgar and filled with adult humor while Home Again is just a nice film that is enjoyable because it is simple and lighthearted. |
