Critics Consensus: A dull and unfunny comedy where the leads fail to generate any sparks.

Reviews

Behind The Lens

Debbie Lynn Elias

Hopefully, Rob Reiner just suffered a case of writer's block/director's block like his character Alex Sheldon with Alex & Emma.

The actors make this fun if you can overlook the ludicrous view of Jeremy Leven's screenplay concerning how novels are written and what publishers generally pay for them.

Uninspired -- neither romantic nor comic.

"Alex & Emma" has a light tone of modernized '20s inflected comedy that Woody Allen would love to still be able to capture in his movies.
