Leave your thoughts about Romantics Anonymous.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe word "delightful" is thrown around so much that it often means nothing. Movies that truly have the capacity to delight - that amuse and lift the spirits and create a warm feeling - are rare. Romantics Anonymous is one of those rare delights. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordNot everything works, particularly Améris's insistence on framing his leading lady into a couple of out of character 'bits,' but the film also has laugh out loud moments, punctuated by the wonderful timing of editor Philippe Bourgueil. |
| ABC Radio BrisbaneMatthew ToomeyWhilst I hoped there would be a little more substance, I still found myself caught up in the charm of this farce. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonBland and predictable, but who cares? For the incurable Gallic romantic in all of us. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenRomantics Anonymous might vaporize if the director and the actors didn't have such easy command over the tone of this singularly Gallic fairy tale. If you added a dozen songs and brought it to the stage it would be completely at home. |
| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerReese Witherspoon, the American remake's for you. |
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatthew PejkovicRomantics Anonymous is a delightfully sweet comedy where love, chocolate and social anxiety blend to make a deliciously offbeat treat. |
| The MercuryTim MartainSo much is conveyed in what isn't said: the half-finished words, the broken syllables, the inarticulate noises, even the silences. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonCharming but uneven, director Améris's film doesn't know whether to make us laugh or cry, and ends up doing neither. Still, a smart script offers plenty to keep incurable romantics happy. |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonAméris's recipe here calls for everything in moderation, resulting in a movie that never threatens to offend nor, particularly, to delight, though it does offer a good view on a modestly charming actors' duet. |
