Entertainment Weekly
Paula Patton is such a terrific actress that even in the ultra-tacky romantic comedy Baggage Claim, she gives a luminous, thought-out performance, not just walking through but digging into the role of an eager, nervous doormat with a people-pleasing grin. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
A few smart laughs hint at what might have been, but thanks to sitcom-y mugging and a tepidness beneath the intended hilarity, David E. Talbert’s romantic comedy is stuck in a holding pattern for much of its running time. - 40
Village Voice
There are a handful of laughs, but nothing to balance the onslaught of clichés. - 40
Time Out
Talbert’s directing is on par with a prescription-drug commercial, and in case you have a brain injury and thus are at all confused where this cartoonish film is heading, just keep an eye out for the guy who is named — we kid you not — Mr. Wright. - 40
The Dissolve
Its pleasures are all glib and surface-level, although Luke and Patton have enough chemistry to make their painfully clichéd relationship go down smoothly. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Baggage Claim promotes painfully outdated social mores. - 30
Variety
Chemistry you can fake, but charm is far harder to pull off, and Baggage Claim never quite succeeds on that front. - 30
Austin Chronicle
Although there’s a strong likability quotient for everyone onscreen here, which ought to keep the movie minimally afloat among its target audience of black viewers starved for a new Tyler Perry offering, Baggage Claim should be left behind at the carousel.
