Sep 27, 201338Baggage Claim is so archaic in its depiction of feminine self-worth — and, frankly, so insulting — it's amazing that it's coming out in 2013, not 1963.
-
38“You don’t need a man to define you!” Very true, and so much for feminism. The rest of the film takes a long, convoluted, predictable, and mostly unfunny route to prove that the opposite is the case.
-
30Predictability and clichés get in the way of comedy here, especially with a lead character who rarely comes across as more than blandly sweet.
-
30Although there’s a strong likability quotient for everyone onscreen here, which ought to keep the movie minimally afloat among its target audience of black viewers starved for a new Tyler Perry offering, Baggage Claim should be left behind at the carousel.
-
30Chemistry you can fake, but charm is far harder to pull off, and Baggage Claim never quite succeeds on that front.
-
25Nothing in this movie would actually happen, so what’s irritating is that it presents itself as a savvy, “Am I right, ladies?” dating commentary.
-
25Without a coherent lead performance, all Baggage Claim has left are its generic rom-com plot — which has flight-attendant Patton jetting around the country to meet the perfect man in time for her younger sister’s wedding — and profoundly shoddy production values.

Sep 25, 201325Writer-director David E. Talbert adapts his own 2003 novel into something as useless as it is implosive.
-
20Romcom fans deserve something with more heart.
