1.5/4
"Bargain-basement Dennis Potter"  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

2/5
"by and large a complete wreck."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

58/100
"The film has an overall tonal inconsistency and suffers from the occasional bout of tin-ear-itis, which ultimately derails this sometimes interesting attempt at reinvigorating the genre."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

4/5
"When it succeeds, it soars with great abandon, and when it fails, it fails so grandly that we still want to applaud it. This is a madhouse of a movie."  DVDTalk.com  David Cornelius

B
"I found myself smiling with bafflement for most of the film, mostly enjoying the unorthodoxy of the whole thing."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

B
"May be a sort of mess, but it's a joyously infectious one."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/4
"Romance and Cigarettes is good, not-so-clean fun."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

4/5
"Romance and Cigarettes may not always work as well as it probably should, but regardless there's no arguing with the originality of Turturro's piece."  FilmFocus  Joe Utichi

"In a season seasoned with off-beat originality in the movies, from Lars and the Real Girl to I'm Not There, you still have not seen anything quite like John Turturro's extraordinary Romance and Cigarettes."  Film.com  Jonathan F. Richards

1.5/4
"Turturro's reach considerably exceeds his grasp."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

5/5
"A cheerfully bizarre delight for anyone open to its decidedly off-beat charms."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

3.5/5
"Such an outrageous film that it's almost impossible not to adore it."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

9/10
"One of the most inventive, surprising and challenging American films of 2005. Pity that it's 2007."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
