Leave your thoughts about Modern Romance.
| Time OutDerek AdamsExtremely funny, ultra-hip and alarmingly insightful. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyIn Albert Brooks' second comedy, which is both funny and irritating (some of it by design), he plays a nuerotic film editor who's unable to sustain a normal relationship |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher Nullmakes the repetition and relative tameness of the primary plot seem all the more obvious |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldLikely to interest only those who wish Brooks well and don't mind making extravagant allowances. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe first part of the film is farcical and very funny. |
| Lawrence Journal-WorldJon NiccumAnother obsessive classic from Albert Brooks |
| User ReviewJ KAlbert Brooks' directorial debut was one of Kubrick's favourite films. While merde like Sleepless in Seattle offers only lifestyle porn and smug self delusion, this is romantic comedy for those who have actually been in the trenches. |
| User ReviewJayden CThe best, albeit most depressing, breakup movie of all time. |
| User ReviewNick DPainfully accurate. Absolutley hilarious. Brooks is a genius. |
| User ReviewStephen SThis is a masterful study in neurosis that only Albert Brooks is capable of delivering. By design, moments of it are uncomfortable,. bordering on painful but the humor is memorable and real. |
