Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Elizabeth Weitzman (1,905) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 12 Feb 2015

The title of this Hugh Grant romantic dramedy feels like a challenge, so we'll bite: The performances are strong, but a rewrite - or two -…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 12 Feb 2015

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Matt Pais (1,519) for RedEye (906) on 12 Feb 2015

Shows how sharp lines and strong supporting performances can elevate the ordinary to something you tell friends to add to the middle of their…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 11 Feb 2015

Amid much talk about character, story structure, and theme, Grant delivers his usual rakish-charmer routine in a role that’s as hackneyed…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Kate Erbland (681) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 11 Feb 2015

Grant specializes in bastards, but he makes them so charming that viewers can nearly forget, and even forgive, their consistently bad manners…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Kevin Jagernauth (311) for The Playlist (3,871) on 10 Feb 2015

So you have The Rewrite, which feels like it had a rewrite at some point, perhaps muddying the waters of the film's larger intentions…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Tribune News Service (1,102) on 10 Feb 2015

It probably never had a prayer of being a wide release, with Lawrence and Grant’s co-mingled careers shrinking in ambition and appeal…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Joanna Langfield (398) for The Movie Minute (398) on 09 Feb 2015

Granted 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…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Guy Lodge (731) for Variety (12,700) on 13 Nov 2014

It’s a rare pleasure to see Tomei in a lead role, and she fills out the short cuts in Lawrence’s characterization with wry warmth and a…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Tom Huddleston (600) for Time Out (7,510) on 13 Oct 2014

Those who hoped that playing a ferocious cannibal in 'Cloud Atlas' might have got Hugh Grant's thespian juices flowing again are in for a…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Siobhan Synnot (412) for Scotsman (1,471) on 12 Oct 2014

Thanks to some heavy lifting from the cast, there are enough laughs to make you forget that it's only Grant you care about, and that Keith's…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Mark Kermode (1,002) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 10 Oct 2014

Grant knows how to deliver a line and isn't afraid to play a sleazeball (albeit a redeemable one) but you keep wishing Richard Curtis was on…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Donald Clarke (1,051) for Irish Times (1,391) on 10 Oct 2014

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Allan Hunter (1,486) for Screen International (2,241) on 09 Oct 2014

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Charlotte O'sullivan (637) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 09 Oct 2014

Grant and Tomei work well together (they aren't doing anything new but seeing their shtick grafted together proves satisfying)…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Geoffrey Macnab (1,253) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 09 Oct 2014

Twenty years after Four Weddings and a Funeral, Hugh Grant is still playing a variation on the dithering, charming Englishman…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)
