Leave your thoughts about Spoiler Alert.
| We Got This CoveredErielle SudarioSpoiler Alert is a film that tells a story of a not-so-perfect relationship that will make you laugh, cry, and feel like you're part of Michael and Kit's life. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisBoth Parsons and Aldridge surrender to the material, and we are moved as Kit and Michael come to a deeper understanding and appreciation of their love for each other. |
| Entertainment WeeklyPatrick GomezAnchored by the ridiculously charming Aldridge's chemistry with Parsons (distant but effective in comparison), Spoiler Alert defies expectations throughout, refusing to adhere to one genre or storytelling convention. |
| RogerEbert.comKatie RifeThis is a nice film. A sweet film. A film you can watch with your mother-in-law. |
| Boston GlobeOdie HendersonJust in time for the holidays, director Michael Showalter has gifted viewers with a good old-fashioned tearjerker, one that earns its tears without resorting to a brute force assault on your heartstrings. Spoiler Alert operates with a lot of humor and more than a little grace. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperDirector Showalter (who mined similar territory in “The Big Sick,” one of the best movies of 2017) and screenwriters David Marshall Grant and Dan Savage display a deft touch for blending wry humor with heartfelt drama, and Jim Parsons and Ben Aldridge have a natural and comfortable chemistry in a story that hits a lot of familiar notes but contains some creatively clever devices while packing, yes, a whole lot of heart. |
| Washington PostKristen Page-KirbyUltimately, the movie tells a story about two lives: complicated, filled with both love and pain, but well and fully lived. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rachel HoWhat struck me most about Spoiler Alert was its nuanced look at a loving relationship. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerSpoiler Alert is at its best when it's not afraid to be mawkish, sentimental, soppy, honest, and downright charming. |
| The A.V. ClubManuel BetancourtWhen the film lets its guard down—namely, whenever Aldridge gets to deploy his charm as Kit or manages to let Field echo a weathered kind of Steel Magnolias screen presence—the film sings. Yet its attempts to distance itself from the very genre of a film it so clearly is (there wasn’t a dry eye in the house by the time I left my screening) end up shortchanging its impact. |
