Village Voice
Hallie Meyers-Shyer’s cheeringly low-key debut, Home Again, offers proof that someone making movies understands what Hollywood has in Reese Witherspoon. I hope this star and this new writer-director make a habit of pairing up. - 63
Philadelphia Daily News
Meyers-Shyer loves movies as much as the young men in Home Again and the best scenes reflect that. - 58
IndieWire
It’s an amenable enough ramble of a romantic comedy, and Witherspoon is as charming as ever in the genre in which she excels. - 58
The Film Stage
This is Meyers-Shyer’s directorial debut and it shows in spots. The pacing ebbs and flows a bit unevenly and plenty of jokes don’t hit as much as the filmmaking would suggest they do. That said, the casting goes a long way, as does the aforementioned production design. - 40
Time Out
Home Again is too superficial to maintain tension as a character-driven drama, and not funny enough to overcome an aimless plot and confused tone. - 40
New York Daily News
Reese Witherspoon’s oversized appeal and radiance is no match for Home Again, a ramshackle romcom short on both romance and laughs. - 38
Boston Globe
Home “again”? It seems that first-timer Meyers-Shyer isn’t setting so much as a piggy toe beyond familiar territory, and this listless rom-com shows it. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Flatly staged, patchily acted and hobbled by a script (by Meyers-Shyer) that substitutes strained cuteness for wit and texture, Home Again is like a feature-length sitcom sans laughs.
