Spoiler Alert Ratings & Reviews

too sad
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Todd McCarthy
The film challenges itself to be both amusing and emotionally involving where matters of life and death are concerned. Fortunately, it manages to more or less succeed on both counts due to its ever-ready wise-crack nature and sympathetic direction.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It's heartfelt, genuine, funny and yes, terribly sad but it also celebrates love and life, even when it's dealing with a tragic illness.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
We know from the beginning where the witty and warm Spoiler Alert is headed, but not how moving that journey will be.
New York Times
Amy Nicholson
A bigger problem is that the so-called sincere dialogue is either blunter than a soap opera ("It's his mother. He told her not to come. I've never even met the woman.") or hammier than a Hawaiian pizza ("Hey honey, I'm cancer! I mean, I'm home!")
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Despite the narrative elements that are part of Michael's coping mechanisms, Aldridge and Field effectively salvage the emotional core of "Spoiler Alert," bringing us back to the heart of the matter.
Entertainment Weekly
Patrick Gomez
Showalter ultimately succeeds because he never loses focus of the heart at the core of his story.
Observer
Emily Zemler
This is probably best to skip if you have history of helping a loved one through cancer, but for everyone else it's a solid weekend watch once it hits streaming.
Washington Post
Kristen Page-Kirby
Unlike so many "illness movies" - I'm looking at you, Nicholas Sparks - Kit's life is not mined for the lessons it teaches us.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
Reaches for humor without jokes... once in a while a few films achieve that, and this is one of them.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
At times "Spoiler Alert" feels like an edgy, clever film that plays wittily on the main character's lifelong obsession with TV. At others, it feels like a more formulaic, holiday-themed tearjerker.
AV Club
Manuel Betancourt
When the film lets its guard down-namely, whenever Aldridge gets to deploy his charm as Kit or manages to let Field echo a weathered kind of Steel Magnolias screen presence-the film sings.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
A tender, inspiring story.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
Parsons and Aldridge have fantastic chemistry together.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
As you'd expect, Sally Field and Bill Irwin are great together as Kit's parents, who are so loving and accepting, you wonder why Kit waited so long to come out to them.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Spoiler Alert is at its best when it's not afraid to be mawkish, sentimental, soppy, honest, and downright charming.
Arizona Republic
KiMi Robinson
A beautifully balanced and well-paced film that knows when to be brutally honest and when to give viewers a moment of reprieve.
RogerEbert.com
Katie Rife
This is a nice film. A sweet film. A film you can watch with your mother-in-law.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
... While it eventually finds its sweet core, its surrounded by the shards of a much more interesting story.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Spoiler Alert is a delightfully effective melodrama, one that pulls few punches and isn't afraid of wearing a plethora of emotions out in the open for all to see.
