    Great movie!! Absolutely hilarious story plot. Intriguing. Here's a story of one woman who struggles to embrace relationship and commitment. Fearing those but wanting love and desire is one thing, but when she loses her girlfriend then she tries to find a semblance in replacing it in her life. Great cast- Gretchen Mol, Elizabeth Reaser, and Justin Kirk.

    Allegra breaks up with Samantha. Allegra dates Phillip. Philip has broken up with Grace. Grace dates Allegra. Allegra does not know Grace is Phillip's ex and vice versa. Phillip and Grace find out in the most odd way (no one walks in on anyone doing the deed), get back together. Allegra gets back with Samantha.
    It's a fun flick that really did not get it's due in theaters or dvd.

    Amusing, but not nearly as funny as the old screwball comedies it was obviously trying to emulate. The main character also didn't have enough chemistry with either love interest.

    Smart, funny comedy of errors. Gretchen Mol has been sorely underused since she first burst onto the scene a decade ago, so it's nice to see her any time, and Elizabeth Reaser is proving to be a really versatile actress (I adored her in "Sweet Land"). A wry, unsentimental, yet still somehow sentimental, look at modern relationships.

    The plot structure was well-crafted and interesting enough, and the humour was ironic and apparent enough at least for me to laugh. As a story, though, this movie does absolutely nothing for me. Unrelatable on just about every level, but personal feelings aside, this movie just doesn't have a lot to offer. Bland, faux-deep characters, blatant attempts to make old maxims and cliches seem witty, and not much of an overall point. average at absolute best.

    lesbians in newyork city, quite similer to sex in the city, in style and story, as a wmen is torn between a man and women, who are in fact a couple, sometimes a screwball farce and other times a edgy indie about relationships, a good performance from the main charactor played by elizebeth reaser, not seen her before, but at the end of it all another newyork tale about relationships, something woody allen does much better

    The Glory Hole!
    This movie was fun. Had a good story and the whole voices concept was pretty funny.
    I sorta kinda didn't like the ending but if you have read my other reviews on endings, you will know why, if not, go ahead and ask me after you have seen the movie!

    It looks like from the cover she's dating a guy and a girl.. I could be wrong, but even if I wasn't, I'm not interested.

    With snappy dialogue, interesting character development, a rich history for our protagonist and a message of "Love Unconditional" that really hit home...I loved this movie. There have been comparisons to a Woody Allen style and I can see that, but it comes away with a flavor all its own. It also gets billed as a movie about a "love triangle" or a "gay & lesbian" film, but really, it transcends this to simply deliver a delightful picture with a great message as well as some good laughs. If you are looking for a fine film that will make you feel good and appreciate a good cuddle and, "I love you" then this movie is for you.

    When a friend told me - only a few words - about this movie, the title instantly called my attention: it sounded interesting. Without read anything about it before, what's uncommon in my case, I watched it this week.

    Très à Woddy Allen, c'est tout. It's frustrating when you watch a movie that, instead of make references, it's nothing but a copy. Puccini for Beginners is like any other romantic comedy, like any other you have already seen. It doesn't show you anything new, different. It doesn't really add anything.

    i guess i could describe this movie as a movie with tv actors. ii absoultly love Elizabeth Reaser & Justin Kirk in this film and i love them in their tv roles as well Justin Kirk in weeds and Elizabeth Reaser in Greys Anatomy. but in this their characters are suited perfectly for them and this movie. the movie is great anyway love the story and love the dialog and love the ending. a must watch for everyone

    The begining of this movie is a mess. It ends up being a cute romantic comedy. The characters are not all that likeable. There are a few funny moments, but mostly you just kinda think, "is this really happening". Not high up on the list.

    a simple, independent and woody allen-like lesbian love movie and it has lots of think to say about relationships and our everyday decisions and of course coincidences. Indie movies to remind us why we love the cinema... Gotto love it. (Thanks to !fIstanbul Indie Film Festival)
