Alex & Emma

2003 · 1h 36m · Comedy, Romance

IMDb 5.5 Metacritic 32 RT 11%

Skip it. 'Alex & Emma' has all the ingredients for a charming romantic comedy—the meet-cute premise, the writing deadline pressure, the meta-narrative twist—but the critical consensus is brutal and unanimous. With an 11% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 5.5 on IMDb, this one's a creative misfire that doesn't land its jokes or its romance. Save your evening for something actually worth your time.

Plot

Writer Alex Sheldon must finish his novel within a month. If he doesn't, he won't get paid. And, if that happens, angry Mafia types to whom he owes money will come looking for him. In order to expedite things, Alex hires typist Emma Dinsmore and begins dictating his novel. The book is about a doomed love affair between a character similar to Alex and a character named Polina Delacroix. But, as Alex falls for Emma, his work takes a different turn.
