United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Bradley Cooper's funniest movie since 'The Hangover' - unfortunately, unintentionally this time (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal chose to make 'The Words' as bland and obvious as its title, wringing out any subtlety or artistry (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Jen Chaney The Washington Post	"A well-acted but narratively limp indie that's undermined by a failure to connect emotionally with its audience. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Amy Biancolli Houston Chronicle	"'The Words' is a decent, ambitious, unoriginal film about a decent, ambitious, unoriginal writer. Both aim for greatness. Both fall short"	NEG
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"While it's no chore to watch so many appealing actors, it does feel like something of a waste to see them hemmed in by such flat material (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
