Años después de su divorcio, el veterano novelista Bill Borgens (Greg Kinnear) sigue obsesionado con su exmujer, Erica (Jennifer Connelly), quien le abandonó por otro hombre. A pesar de los esfuerzos de su vecina con derecho a roce, Tricia (Kristen Bell), para que vuelva a estar -en el mercado-, él sólo tiene ojos para su "ex". Bill descubrirá que Samantha (Lily Collins), su hija universitaria, acaba de lanzar su primera novela cuando él hace tiempo que no consigue publicar. Samantha es una joven liberada que no teme a nada, excepto a tener su primera relación seria con un romántico empedernido (Logan Lerman). Por su parte, su hermano adolescente, Rusty (Nat Wolff) intenta encontrar su propia personalidad como escritor de ficción y también como inesperado novio de una chica de ensueño con inquietantes problemas. Cuando las tres situaciones desemboquen en sendas vacaciones románticas frustradas, la renovada familia Borgens descubrirá porqué algunos finales pueden convertirse en nuevos principios. (DeAPlaneta)

Stuck in love seems at first glance to be an average romance with that cynical vibe where no one understands anyone, and everyone has some sort of past grudge. But then you realize that these pretty nice people haven't given up on their lives yet, they're just stuck for a while, and they're stuck for a reason. And maybe love will open their eyes... and maybe not. Anyway, I don't know how I watched this movie, but I don't see it as a waste of time. A weaker 4 stars.

A house by the sea, shots of long beaches and waves, soft guitar. It might seem like another romantic kitsch, but it's not. Stuck in Love is a surprisingly smart, idiosyncratic and realistic probe into the relationship problems of several generations, each dealing with their own specific woes and joys, losses and wins. A sensitively made film with a well-chosen cast that has an ideal running time, very few deaf spots and is all in such a healthy natural spirit, just like Greg Kinnear playing the lead role.

This is a movie where there are moments that will captivate you, but also moments that you will hate and despise as a creator. At times, it has the potential to be a great modern romantic comedy, but at other times, it becomes an incredible annoyance that falls into clichés. Jennifer Connelly is great as always, Lily Collins (chosen perfectly as Jennifer's on-screen daughter) is excellent as a cynic, but not as good as a romantic heroine. I enjoy watching Greg Kinnear, and this film suits him well. It's not anything amazing, the ending is tediously relentless, but I still had a good time.

You sometimes feel the need to just switch off, enjoy life, forget all your worries, watch a movie and simply enjoy an ordinary story, however cheap it may sound. I was in precisely this mood when I watched this movie, and I could hardly believe it - with all these factors combined, I enjoyed the best feel-good movie of my life! An independent film with awesome actors who portrayed their characters so well that I could relate to them straight away. A perfect soundtrack to a story that might seem a little too familiar, but this simple rendition full of cynicism and romance was exactly what I was looking for and I found it hilarious and moving at the same time. Sometimes you need to inject positive mood straight into your vein along with a happy ending that will give you a warm fuzzy feeling. Although I think everyone will choose a different favorite scene, I was surprised that the scene that got me the most was the phone call with Stephen King. No matter what I remember about the movie, my mood automatically goes up. Let me say again how incredibly likeable I found all the main characters, but I must highlight Lily Collins, because her cynical cuteness here is simply perfection.
