Synopsis
Beautiful aspiring rock star Jude is stuck in a rut - relegated to recording commercial jingles and lost in a series of one night stands. When she is evicted from her Brooklyn apartment, she is forced to move into the Hamptons home of her wealthy - and selfish - father Paul Lombard, an over-the-hill, Sinatra-esque crooner angling for a musical comeback.

The Seattle Times
Thanks to Walken’s superlative, multileveled performance and Edwards’ trenchant writing, this complicated guy...is a weirdly beguiling figure. - 83
The Playlist
It really is charm that drives the feature, with Walken pleasingly zipping around on screen while the rest of the cast gamely rally around him, particularly Heard and Garner, who would likely still be plenty of fun in even a Walken-less feature. - 80
New York Daily News
Walken is great in the tragicomic role of a long-tooth singer. Better still, he deserves a Billboard hit for his on-key — and on-fleeck — version of Joe McGinty’s “When I Live My Life Over Again.” - 75
Washington Post
Robert Edwards, the writer and director, explores the layers of melancholy contained within these familiar but authentically drawn characters, and he cleverly doles out virtue and vice to each while weaving in acid humor borne from regret. - 63
Movie Nation
The unlikely pairing of Amber Heard and Christopher Walken pays comic dividends in One More Time, an agreeably predictable famous father/bitter daughter dramedy. - 63
New York Post
Christopher Walken is in top form as Paul Lombard, an aging romantic crooner. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Walken is the main attraction here; though the film identifies more with the wayward daughter, played by Amber Heard, it doesn't make her nearly as interesting as his name-dropping, spotlight-hogging entertainer. - 58
The A.V. Club
The main reason for anyone to see One More Time...is Walken, who brings a lot of life and fine shading to what could’ve been a one-note deadbeat dad type.
