Leave your thoughts about The Valet.
| Paste MagazineJacob OllerThe Valet parks itself squarely between the lines of established genre tropes, but with such precision and flair that you can’t help but be charmed. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyThe film resonates with deeper messages: the damage done by gentrification, the abyss between the haves and the have-nots, the poor treatment of workers by elites. You don't expect a romcom to explore these issues. But The Valet does. It works. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdonaThanks to the synthesis of adaptation, direction and ensemble — especially its leads — The Valet rewardingly finds its own way. |
| The New York TimesBeandrea JulyThe Valet is an earnest crowd pleaser that unabashedly celebrates the bonds of a Latino family in a tight-knit neighborhood with rom-com aplomb. |
| Screen RantRachel LaBonteThe Valet is a charming twist on a classic trope led by two delightful leads, even if it sometimes struggles under the weight of all it has taken on. |
| TheWrapKatie WalshThe central relationship of “The Valet” is the weakest part of the film, and much of the comedy is a bit tiresome, though a few bits do pop. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreDerbez remains a likable presence, and that’s the highest praise you can throw at “The Valet” in the feeble hope that it sticks. But even “likeable” wears out its welcome when the story hits the wall at the 60 minute mark, and there aren’t enough jokes to fill a single sitcom episode. |
| IGNSiddhant AdlakhaA low-energy comedy remade from a French farce, The Valet tries (and fails) to inject an absurd story of stardom and fake romance with added commentary and sentiment. Eugenio Derbez and Samara Weaving lead a more than capable cast, but they can’t overcome the film’s sluggish length and disconnected story. |
| User ReviewVoodoo123The valet is a heartwarming dramedy with a superb cast and decent production value. The sharp screenplay and comedic timing carried me from start to finish with quite a few belly laughs. |
| User ReviewMetacriticOnurbad [ bad ] adjective, worse, worst;(Slang) bad·der, bad·dest for 36. not good in any manner or degree. |
