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.

3.5/5
That's the lasting impression this movie left on me: there are good people in the world; ordinary good people, not superheroes. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au 10/20/2017

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. Go to Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times 10/01/2017

It all amounts to precisely nothing. It's not us, rom-com: it's you. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 10/08/2022

...a decent-enough premise that’s employed to watchable yet pervasively forgettable effect... Go to Full Review Daniel Howat Next Best Picture 05/19/2022

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. Go to Full Review Paul McGuire Grimes KSTP-TV (St. Paul, MN) 11/05/2020

It's the wistful Reese rom-com that you expect from it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Katie D 03/15/2021 Cute, funny, at times a little more realistic than some romantic comedies, and Reese Witherspoon is just great! See more Avalon T @Avalon604 Jan 24 I'm surprised the rating is so low for this movie. I really enjoyed this . It's not deep or disturbing or thought provoking. That isn't always what I'm looking for. Sometimes you just want to put uo your feet and relax and enjoy. I consider this a great feel good movie. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Dec 31 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more K M @GwendolynDeFortuna Dec 23 For mood, LA nostalgia and that mid 2000s well being we used to soak in, in a similar to stalwarts but here a pleasantly dialed back RomCom confection, I give it a solid B+. Yay. Reese Witherspoon! You can do no wrong in my eyes. See more Bill M @RT10086095 Jun 19 Normally i'd probably rate this 4 star, but after seeing what the mindless super hero, zombie addicts scored this delightful trip thru LA, we'll try and give it a boost.. first of all, Reece makes EVERYTHING better & this was right in her wheelhouse. great cast chemistry, nice flowing script with tons of laughs, an ever present 'who gets the girl' mystery and even a tear jerk or two. A good look into dysfunctional marriages with twists, All emotional are felt, That makes it a good movie Poindexter. Alexander, Wolff & Rudnitsky never dropped meter & great to see Candice rule the roost again. btw the young actors were fantastic. so do yourself a favor and WATCH THIS MOVIE, Disregard what the kiddies think and soak this one up.
