Falling for Figaro

"Undemanding rom-com fans and, to a lesser degree, opera lovers, should take some mild pleasure in 'Falling for Figaro'" 

"[A] thoroughly generic and often monotonous romance (...) [It has] the virtue of never succumbing to played-out body image commentary." 

"'Falling for Figaro' fails to hit the high (or even so-so) notes (...) [Macdonald] lacks the requisite sparkle and pluck here to keep us squarely on her side" 

"This delightful movie has all the ingredients needed to make a delicious romantic comedy. 'Falling for Figaro' is uplifting and joyful, tugging on the heart strings just enough (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A corny, cute-enough carpe diem comedy, in which it’s a lovable ensemble that brings the grace notes to a pretty standard-issue script." 

"Macdonald and Skinner are both strong singers (...) Their performances are what make 'Falling for Figaro' an entertaining distraction (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"'Falling for Figaro' is nice, I guess, and I say that with all the ambivalence I can muster. Even if you don't expect much, it may not quite meet your expectations" 

"Overall, 'Falling for Figaro' is a nice little rom-com, but it fails to make a lasting impression. Despite good performances and the character work apparent in the two leads, the film lacks the spark needed to engage its viewers (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
