It struggles to enliven its uneven script, but Stuck in Love boasts enough winning performances from its solid veteran cast to offer an appealing diversion for rom-com enthusiasts.

Perfectly adequate airplane reading.

Cliched literary trappings come together in "Stuck in Love," but the final product feels more like a footnote than a finished work.

Although "Stuck in Love" is an indie film, it hews slavishly to Hollywood formulas right down to its comfy Thanksgiving Day ending. It's all so easy, isn't it?

Most consistently a drama - and one that goes on for too long.

Totally forgettable and one of the blandest films of the year.

Alas, why couldn't one of these fab authors have helped the first-time writer and director Josh Boone pen some decent dialogue?

I don't understand the so-so ratings. Great screenplay, directing, and acting.

We liked it a lot, and not just because I’m also a writer, more specifically a career journalist. It definitely brought out a lot of emotional swings as the dynamics among the characters kept changing. The end surprised me somewhat but maybe it shouldn’t have.

The movie brings important reflection regarding the love relationship between couples. Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly nevertheless showed the love they had for each other, despite the obstacles that each were facing. While they tried to compensate using other halves, it did not erase the fact of their mutual respect for each other. Lily Collins did a fine job in the film because she was able to present the after effects from her parents' divorce, yet writing became her coping mechanism. The contrast she was able to show between insecurity to having a heart for her boyfriend is achievable. Nat Wolff and Liana Liberato's chemistry was impeccable, yet a little disappointing because it would have been nice for a happily ever after for them as well especially the troubles they had to be together. It is a rom-com that may look average, but more than average in my book.

One of my favorites. Highly underrated movie. The music is perfect. A movie with characters that are cynical about love, but love can thankfully find its way to anyone and heal their spirit. (At least that's what I get out of it) One part of the movie also hits harder for me than some since I lost my Mom to cancer. But this movie is amazing IMO.
