Critics Consensus

Home Again gathers a talented crowd of rom-com veterans on both sides of the camera -- all of whom have unfortunately done far better work.

Stephen Romei The Australian That's the lasting impression this movie left on me: there are good people in the world; ordinary good people, not superheroes. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au Home Again doesn't seem to be particularly concerned with story development - probably a fifth of the movie is made up of montages, all jaunty music and well-lit actors more fitting in a sunscreen commercial. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times It all amounts to precisely nothing. It's not us, rom-com: it's you. Rated: 1/5 Oct 1, 2017 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a decent-enough premise that’s employed to watchable yet pervasively forgettable effect... Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 8, 2022 Full Review Daniel Howat Next Best Picture A film that's not romantic enough for you to care, and not funny enough to make you laugh, "Home Again" barely qualifies as a rom-com. This is a movie that, while inoffensive, isn't worth your time. Rated: 3/10 May 19, 2022 Full Review Paul McGuire Grimes KSTP-TV (St. Paul, MN) It's the wistful Reese rom-com that you expect from it. Rated: 3/5 Nov 5, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Katie D Cute, funny, at times a little more realistic than some romantic comedies, and Reese Witherspoon is just great! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/21 Full Review Matt P 15 minutes was all I could bear of this laugh-less, stake-less, supremely boring drivel... But hey, the writer-director Hallie Meyers-Shyer was paid a mid seven figure sum for her screenplay Goodrich which she'll direct and stars Michael Keaton. If you can't wait to see it, watch Kramer vs Kramer and you'll have the opportunity to compare the two... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review Munkhchimeg T Some moments were very sentimental in a good way. I felt peace after watched the movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Su L Unexpectedly heartwarming and unpredictable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review donnie m i watch any movie with Reese but this one, a lot of bad acting but the kids are cute and the girl who plays Isabel-really good! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Cassie W This movie suuuuuuucked! One of the most boring movies I've ever endured. Absolutely terrible. Don't waste your time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
