The Rewrite
Description
In 1998, Ray Michaels (Grant) was on top of the world -- a witty, sexy, Englishman in Hollywood who had just won an Academy Award for Best Screenplay. Fifteen years later, he’s creatively washed up, divorced, and broke. With no other options, he takes a job teaching screenwriting at a small college on the East Coast. Although the idea of teaching is less than thrilling, he hopes to make some easy money and enjoy the favors of impressionable young co-eds. What he doesn';t expect to find is romance with a single mom (Tomei) who’s gone back to school.

Agreeable and familiar writer's block rom-com.
July 11, 2016
The Rewrite tries so hard to be a knowing fish-out-of-water romcom, when it contains neither romance nor comedy. Any sentimentality or sweetness is completely wrung out within the first half an hour.

Simple, unforced and immensely winning.

Hugh Grant's most enjoyable film in some time.
February 13, 2015
Before it was done to death, there was something terribly appealing about Grant's heroes, and many of his romantic comedies -- something "The Rewrite" nicely reminds us of.

Another Hugh Grant comedy that follows the dots without much wit ...

As rewrites go, this one represents a decent improvement.
February 13, 2015
The Rewrite wants to be a film about the messiness of life but it only has Hollywood clichés to work with.
February 20, 2015
Hugh Grant ultimately makes the film an endurable experience, but he can't stop it from being a forgettable one.
February 13, 2015
By no means watch this if you're looking for a nourishing cinematic experience. But if your idea of a cozy rom-com is an old Hugh Grant one, this has some cine-comfort-food-carbs for you.

A full two decades after "Four Weddings and a Funeral," Hugh Grant still does that stammering, understated, witty and dashing thing as well as anyone in the business.
