Observer Rex Reed

Another riff on the aftermath of tragedy, Tumbledown is the meaningless title of a tender but clumsy romantic comedy. Read full review

Tumbledown is a sweetly poignant look at what it means to move on. Read full review

Rolling Stone Peter Travers

Feb 12, 2016

Following his surprisingly subtle work in "Sleeping With Other People," Sudeikis again shows real skills as an actor. Read full review

The A.V. Club Mike D'Angelo

That Tumbledown sort of works in spite of all its clichés is a testament to the gifts of its two lead actors. Read full review

The Film Stage Michael Snydel

Feb 9, 2016

As a study of grief, it’s moving, featuring authentic performances and a keen understanding of the receding hibernation that comes with losing a cornerstone person in one’s life. As a romance, it’s slow-going but believable. And as a look at the unfair mythos attributed to the dead, it’s nuanced and incisive. But in attempting to balance these complementary parts, Tumbledown is buried by its own ambitions. Read full review

Tumbledown comes up light in the categories that matter most, miring a capable cast in a forced cable-knit folksiness familiar to anyone who has ever watched anything set in New England. Read full review

We’re meant to warm to Hannah and Andrew as they wear each other down with good-natured ribbing. But Ms. Hall and Mr. Sudeikis hardly warm up themselves, showing little chemistry and looking unsure how to play the film’s tone, or the would-be zingers. Read full review

An interesting take on the usual boy meets girl movie. They each start out with an unfavorable opinion of the other, then find they need one another, then then then, you know the story. What makes this a good story is the wordy banter between the two of them. If you're in the mood forAn interesting take on the usual boy meets girl movie.

To be fair, I should've felt like I should be enjoying Tumbledown. I sat just wondering when something interesting is about to happen. I was like that for the entire movie from start to finish.
