Critic Reviews

  • Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

    "Waiting for Forever" evidently is an attempt to portray love as purest when expressed by those who are most innocent, untainted by the ugliness of the real world. But it misses the mark completely, coming off instead as creepy.

  • Kyle Smith, New York Post

    A drippy romance that makes Nicholas Sparks look like Leo Tolstoy.

  • Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

    With "Waiting for Forever," an insipid contemporary fairy tale about a lovestruck young vagabond shadowing a childhood sweetheart he can't bring himself to approach, we get stalking, juggling and cancer. Happy Valentine's Day!

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    More often than not, I felt suffocated by the gaseous sentimentality and lightheadedness of a story that drops in subplots that it can't begin to develop.

  • Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

    Director James Keach's movie is so annoyingly dipsy-doodle that TV veteran Bilson, trying hard to look haunted and angsty, is boxed in.

    A Hollywood-set romantic tale of a guy who is content to live his life without a job yet with the love of his life, a young actress. Decent movie. I really really dislike the main character like he's actually in real life gonna get the girl of his dream, are you serious??? He… More

    Why Rachel Bilson agreed to this film, I will never know. Bordering on melodrama the entire film, there is no part of this film that feels natural. The relationships are forced and changes of heart are glazed over as if changing your negative emotions toward someone were easy. The… More
