Almost Love

After awhile, you're ready to break up with all these people too.

A few strong moments from its stars brighten the film, but it's never more than a mildly enjoyable diversion.

Almost Love has problems other than being jarringly out of date with How We Live Now.

With "Almost Love," Doyle proves he has an eye, a sense of pacing and a thoughtful touch with actors.

Many chatty, amorphous scenes in which characters yammer on about their problems in a way that suggests that even they don't care about them. And if they don't care about their own problems, then there is no reason why we should either.

The aimless characters in "Almost Love" like to talk through their feelings, their aspirations, their disappointments, but there is little substance in their epiphanies, and the comedy is too low key to make up for its absence.

“Almost Love” is a thoroughly enjoyable movie. While writer/director Mike Doyle has some trouble with the script, he and a great cast deliver a fine rom-com that embraces diversity and sparkles with humor and warmth.

Given how writer/director Mike Doyle has a background as an actor, it really shines through in the performances.

"Almost" about covers it.

There are some parts of the movie that are very predictable. However, in a sea of movies that badly handle portrayals of adult romances and friendships, Almost Love navigates itself quite well.
