Peter Travers Rolling Stone

What really lifts Celeste and Jesse Forever above the rom-com herd, besides breakout star performances from Jones and Samberg, is the movie's willingness to replace clichés with painful truths. It's irresistible. show more

San Francisco Chronicle

This film has a voice of its own. And at a time when the romantic comedy seems to be a lost art form, that's saying something. show more

Claudia Puig USA Today

Unlike most rom-coms, Celeste and Jesse Forever delves into the complicated heart of relationships, exposes some painful truths and allows melancholy to co-exist alongside breezy humor. show more

a good story with some funny situations, but ultimately the film drags down the promise

BEING â€œRIGHTâ€ ISNâ€™T ALL ITâ€™S CRACKED UP TO BE Celeste and Jesse brings to mind the habit I have of wanting to be rightâ€. As a result, my life usually takes a turn for the worse. Being â€œrightâ€ isnâ€™t all itâ€™s cracked up to be. Attachment to this way of thinking leads to my trying to control and manipulate a person or situation. The opposite is â€œletting goâ€ and creating the recipe called going with the flow, adding the ingredients of patience and loving kindness. When I use this recipe, I notice how well things turn out. Celeste and Jesses reminded me that everything and everyone in my life are my teachers. If I really listen to the lessons and consume this recipe consistently, I can create a positive transformation in myself and in my life.

I was pretty disappointed and that\'s because I wanted to like this film. The couple in this Celeste and Jesse are odd, a bit sophomoric and hard to identify with. There are far better choices out there.
