Leave your thoughts about The Rewrite.
| The Movie MinuteJoanna LangfieldGranted you'd think a movie about a screenwriter could have been at least a little less rote, but that doesn't mean this rom com isn't offering up some sweet entertainment. |
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsHow come Hugh Grant and Marisa Tomei waited this long to make a romantic comedy together? |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthSo you have The Rewrite, which feels like it had a rewrite at some point, perhaps muddying the waters of the film's larger intentions. But there's enough from both halves — the more original dramedic vehicle and the less imaginative, predictable, mainstream-aimed entertainment — to make for one wobbly, yet enjoyable movie, if you just put your guard down enough to let it in. |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondThe Rewrite is good fun and gets better as you adjust to its gentle pace and start to appreciate the unshowy quality of Grant's performance. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyBefore it was done to death, there was something terribly appealing about Grant's heroes, and many of his romantic comedies -- something "The Rewrite" nicely reminds us of. |
| CinemalogueTodd Jorgenson... has some scattered laughs amid the formulaic cuteness, yet ultimately it's too slight and obvious. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerIt’s poised to become one of the biggest rom-coms of 1998. But barring the invention of time travel, The Rewrite remains tethered to the realities of film releasing in 2015, which means it will get most of its play as a VOD simulation of earlier hits. |
| Film RacketMike McGranaghanFlawed though it may be, there's still enough here that works to make the film a passable way to spend 106 minutes |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn inoffensive but bland and unimaginative romcom. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereGreat cast. If you love Hugh Grant films, you will want to see this. |
