Can contemporary romance be this flat?

Falling in Love will serve as a definitive example of good performances in a bad movie.

De Niro and Streep are known for their acting intensity: an accent here, a few pounds gained there, a dash of Method madness everywhere. That’s why it’s a kick to watch them play what to them must be the most fantastical creatures ever: ordinary people.

...an often excessively deliberate drama that’s only able to capture the viewer’s interest in short-lived fits and starts...

A simple, and great, love story that avoids unnecessary moral or ethical pamphlets. [Full review in Spanish]

This movie is real life when we lack kindness and acceptance in another human being we lose are selves and be desensitized to feelings of others as well as the people we love.

Awful waste of two of our greatest actors in a script that is about the level of an afternoon soap opera! Streep shines but mostly mumbles through the most banal dialogue, wearing the most homely outfits ever forced on a "romantic" lead character. SInce their relationship develops mostly off-screen, the "love" between these two is not very convincing apart from the facial expressions of these masterful actors. The moments of missed or near-missed meetings seemed contrived to add some suspense. Shlocky music.

Robert DeNiro was great. But that was not the Meryl Streep we have come to know and love. She seemed to be trying too hard. I agree with another review . Very flat. Uncomfortable to watch.

It was a fun time. Love the Xmas time stuff. In the end though it was predictable but the performances of de Niro and streep make it worthwhile.

What a terrible movie. DeNIro and Streep are completely wasted. I could not make it past the half way mark, before turning the movie OFF. Save your time do not go near this piece of garbage.

I seriously would rather have a root canal than be forced this cliched, insipid movie again.
