Modern Romance Ratings & Reviews
Paste Magazine
Mitchell Beaupre
Billed as a comedy, Brooks deceptively hides in Modern Romance a scathing indictment of toxic masculinity akin to Agnès Varda's Le Bonheur and Michelangelo Antonioni's La Notte.
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
Likely to interest only those who wish Brooks well and don't mind making extravagant allowances.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Ends up more insightful than funny.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
In Albert Brooks' second comedy, which is both funny and irritating (some of it by design), he plays a nuerotic film editor who's unable to sustain a normal relationship
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
Nearly as much as Jerry Lewis, Albert Brooks's comic persona is defined by its unlikability.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
makes the repetition and relative tameness of the primary plot seem all the more obvious
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Modern Romance explores the dangers of possessive love.

Dan Lybarger
Brooks can be very funny, but sometimes his whining mutes the laughs.
Lawrence Journal-World
Jon Niccum
Another obsessive classic from Albert Brooks
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
Not Brooks at his best, but still amusing
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Yet another Albert Brooks film. Why?

Scott Weinberg
An early-career winner from Albert Brooks.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The first part of the film is farcical and very funny.
eFilmCritic.com
Greg Muskewitz
There's little to nothing funny about this.
