The New York Times Dana Stevens
In its own modest, genial terms, the picture succeeds: it never wants to be more than charming and sweet, and it invites us to imagine London as a cozy, happy small town where coincidental encounters are everyday occurrences.
Read Full Review >New Times (L.A.) Luke Y. Thompson
Though perhaps too mainstream for the art-house crowd and too foreign for the multiplex, Born Romantic is a natural crowd-pleaser, and deserves to be more successful than its limited engagement may permit it to be.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek
Dancing, like being in love, sometimes means making a mess of things. Born Romantic makes glorious sense of that mess, trampled toes and all.
Read Full Review >Variety Derek Elley
Highly enjoyable when all its gears are clicking, but rarely as good as it should be.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
Kane believes in happy endings, but he makes his characters earn theirs, as each couple is forced, ever so subtly, to face its own inner nonsense. The filmmaker has divine actors at his disposal.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jami Bernard
Director David Kane handles the sprawling cast with aplomb as his characters learn some new steps in this life-and love-affirming movie.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times John Anderson
Although Born Romantic is sweetly intentioned and staunchly on the side of love, it meanders long to enough to alienate whatever affection it otherwise earns.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard
Born Romantic feels less like it was born than assembled, in a kooky Britcom factory. It's no "Four Weddings and a Funeral," but it's certainly a happier conception than last month's "Maybe Baby."
TV Guide Ken Fox
The shame of it all is that Kane somehow managed to assemble an extraordinary cast, whose fine performances can't surmount the tedium of his script.

ROBERTO R. gave it a 9:
Delightfully done.
Janice gave it an 8:
Loved every minute of it. Hilarious, yet touching, too. And that Adrian Lester is absolutely dreamy!! The whole movie was a delightful surprise.
Richard gave it a 7:
Slight and predictable, with the somewhat tired "salsa dancing=passion" framing device. But it's helped along by an extremely appealing group of talented actors who mine the script for all it's worth. Ultimately uplifting and an excellent date movie.
Anthony K. gave it a 10:
A great movie to get just to feel great about love and how hard it is to achieve it.
