	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Hallie Meyers-Shyer was put on earth to make contemporary Hollywood screwball comedies — or she was put on earth to make glib, pat, overly cozy and superficial contemporary Hollywood screwball comedies."
		Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"A feature-length sitcom, sans laughs (...) A female-driven comedy so thoroughly sanitized that it's essentially wiped of personality (...) Witherspoon doesn't have much to play with"
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"Witherspoon is as charming as ever in the genre in which she excels (...) By the time the film finally brings her ex into frame (...) 'Home Again' has sputtered out and abandoned its most charming elements."
		Joe Dziemianowicz New York Daily News	"A ramshackle romcom short on both romance and laughs (...) It’s simplistic, by-the-numbers and as artificial as Aspartame (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice	"'Home Again' offers several small revelations, some so sneaky that you may not notice the movie has thwarted every expectation of its genre save one."
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"A negligible debut (...) This limp little midlife crisis comedy leaves out the comedy and the crisis, and it certainly never comes to life."
		Anna Smith Time Out	"Witherspoon deserves richer projects than this shiny but empty domestic comedy, inauspiciously directed by the daughter of Nancy Meyers (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
