Critics Consensus

With a pair of likable leads and a story that subverts rom-com expectations, The Valet is a rare remake worth celebrating.

It can't figure out if it wants to be a naturalistic portrait of L.A. or a manic comedy. Either way, it doesn't work.

The Valet is entertaining, thanks mostly to the talented cast, but it tries to do way too much.

It ultimately delivers on the raison d'etre of any rom-com: a satisfactory mix of laughs and love.

The Valet is a light, familiar romantic comedy that relies more on charm than originality. It follows well-worn genre paths, sometimes juggling more ideas than it can fully develop, but its friendly tone keeps things moving. Samara Weaving stands out with a magnetic, effortlessly engaging performance that lifts the material, while the rest of the cast adds warmth. The direction stays safe and functional, making the film easy to watch if not particularly memorable. It doesn’t break new ground, but it works as pleasant, undemanding entertainment.

I am a Latin American with more than two decades in the US. I think this film uses many silly stereotypes, not only about latinos but about women. And there is some conflict between parts of the plot, like how much and when the main character knew about his mother's relationship with a neighbor.
