Leave your thoughts about If Lucy Fell.
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordI just don't find this to be an appealling or believable film. |
| San Francisco ExaminerLeonard KladyWhile the picture periodically skids into sentimentality and characters lapse into schtick, its good-natured quality and winning cast sustain our sympathy. |
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterIf Lucy Fell has all the attributes of romantic comedy, including absolute predictability. The only surprise is that it also provides a mostly-enjoyable journey to its ultimate destination. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovSchaeffer trips up, though, when he lets his philosophies get the better of him. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliAfter My Life's in Turnaround, one could reasonably expect something more than this -- a Generation X picture that takes angst to absurd levels -- from Eric Schaeffer. Unfortunately, what we are saddled with is a whiney, talky, stagnant movie that's more pretentious than romantic, and more dull than funny. If Lucy Fell trips early on, and keeps stumbling for most of its ninety-two minute running length. |
| The Seattle TimesJohn HartlEven if these characters are obliged to waste their time getting to that point, no one else is. |
| Los Angeles TimesJohn AndersonTake a ridiculous premise, marry it to a situation that is bound to resolve itself in the most obvious way, and keep the whole thing rolling with juvenile gags. What do you have? Television. Or “If Lucy Fell,” whose writer-director, Eric Schaeffer, certainly knows television. Or knew it. |
| Boxoffice MagazineChristine JamesSchaeffer is the one who fells Lucy by casting himself in the male lead, then failing to convince anyone that either female lead could be attracted to his character. |
| New YorkerSarah KerrA bleak, annoyingly quirky Gen-X recasting of the When Harry Met Sally notion that true love is based on friendship. |
| New York Daily NewsDave KehrQuick, get the bug repellent, it’s another infestation of clueless, chatty, goofily dressed Gen Xers flitting around the scary idea of love! |
