And I was not disappointed. Juliet, Naked turned out to be a thoroughly entertaining, funny, character-driven film. It is a very, very funny and very, very human romantic comedy, which I guess you would expect from a film based on a novel by Nick Hornby (author of About a Boy). But everyone deserves credit here, since a film like this is very difficult to pull off without it becoming maudlin or annoying. Lots of fun – and very truthful too.… Expand

Funny, warm, and well-written, "Juliet, Naked" is a perfect vehicle for the many talents of Ethan Hawke, Rose Byrne (didn't know she was British; is she?), and Chris O'Dowd. Good soundtrack, too. Stayed to watch the credits so I could come home and find a few of the songs, such as "Mixed Up, Shook Up Girl," which I hadn't heard in years. Ethan Hawke sings a few of the songs, too. A feel-good movie with a lot of heart and a few really good chuckles.… Expand

This is a lighthearted andI think that people expecting to see big-budget Hollywood romantic comedy are going to be disappointed. This is a lighthearted and well-executed film about how three adults who are stuck in a rut learn to get on with life. The movie avoids complicated plot twists, zany antics, and characters with undeveloped brains. Instead, the comedy is thoughtful and clever and sometimes subtle.… Expand

Entretenida, la historia se me hace muy coherente, novedosa, y redonda. No es super chistosa, pero si divierte, lo mejor es que es muy agil y rapida.

Getting past the first 20-25 minutes of “Juliet, Naked” is difficult but leads to a pleasant rom-com without too much laugh out loud comedy orGetting past the first 20-25 minutes of “Juliet, Naked” is difficult but leads to a pleasant rom-com without too much laugh out loud comedy or sighing romance. Throughout the movie you will see a very annoying performance by Chris O’Dowd, which is the way it is written and he acts it without a fault. Rose Byrne, playing his girlfriend of 15 years, is such a delight you wonder whatever made her stay with him.

Does anyone think of Ethane Hawke as less than a very accomplished actor? You may not remember what roles he has played and/or what movies he has been in but, no matter, you probably always enjoyed him. Here is a father of multiple children by a variety of wives who walked out on fame and now 25 years later has decided to grow up, taking responsibility for his mistakes. He is living in the garage of one of his exes determined to be a father to his 6-year-old son.

From the moment Rose meets Ethane in person after spending time exchanging emails the movie has a different, more humorous, more feeling to it. It could have been a more up to date version of Nora Ephron’s “You Got Mail” with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan 20 years later but it is an English film which right away gives it a different beat.

Written by Evegenia Peretz, Jim Taylor and Tamara Jenkins, while directed by Jesse Peretz, don’t expect to see a naked Juliet in “Juliet, Naked” but you will see the London Eye Ferris Wheel on the Thames instead of the Empire State building on 34th street and a rom-com smartly written, produced and directed with a lot of heart towards the end. Just make it through the setup!… Expand

Sure are a lot of mixed reactions to this movie, it’s an odd mixture of romantic comedy and failed relationships set in the 60s. It’s as sadSure are a lot of mixed reactions to this movie, it’s an odd mixture of romantic comedy and failed relationships set in the 60s. It’s as sad as it’s funny and hardly as family-friendly as some would have us think. The script is peppered with a non-stop barrage of needless four letter words - while this doesn’t seem to bother some modern audiences, it still limits the movie’s audience in some situations. Maybe certain writers have forgotten the adage; “Discretion of speech is more than eloquence” (words still matter) - why limit your audience capacity for the simple sake of being trendy? Not everyone talks like hip-hop-rap artists or Hollywood production types and besides, it was less prevalent in the 60s. The script is also very much in the PC gender style of ‘let’s include everyone’ - designed to represent just about all ‘types’ – it’s long been established that attempting to please everyone is perhaps a sure formula for failure - but that’s now the new ‘normal’ for better or worse in ‘entertainment’ terms.

Largely, the whole show is carried by the natural, easy to like personality of Rose Byrne (sporting a cute ‘English’ accent) though she does get able support from her international co-stars. The youths are equally impressive especially young Azhy Robertson giving a warm, natural performance as Jackson. The soundtrack features many pop songs from the 60s, and up, to accompany certain linking scenes and while this device has also become a cliché, the selections are used to the best advantage in this case. Nice English locations keep it easy on the eye.

Certainly won’t suit everyone but has a few relatable human failings and a sprinkle of warmth (and delightful Rose Byrne!) to keep it afloat and above average of its type. Pity about all the F...s .along the way.… Expand
