Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Brooks has made many great TV shows and movies in his 60+ year career, but Ella McCay is a far cry from his best. The only positive that comes out of it is the boosting of Mackey, who proves herself capable of not only leading a film, but also elevating one that would otherwise be a slog to get through.
- SCOTT DAVIS @ The People’s Movies
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: This comedy is by James L. Brooks, who loves his characters and wants us to love them too. That’s the problem. That has always been the problem.
- Nell Minow @ rogerebert.com
- Excerpt: Writer/director James L. Brooks loves stories about complicated women with messy lives. His characters are more successful in their professions than in their romantic choices, but they talk about their mistakes in the kind of sharp, witty dialogue that most filmmakers have forgotten how to write.
- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It’s not the complete disaster they made it out to be a few months ago, but I’m not about to declare it an underrated cult classic either. In fact, it falls right in the middle; hence, it doesn’t please anyone.
