It's sentimental stuff, but amusing in places.

Consensus: Though beautifully photographed, Feast of Love offers little beyond a trite, melodramatic character drama.

Reviews for Feast of Love
Top CriticFeast of Love is essentially a feel-good Hollywood romcom – but it’s one with twists, proper characters, and sadness underscoring the cosy love scenes.
10/05/07
The performances are excellent.
10/11/07
It’s a pretty, occasionally witty love-fest, with a surprising amount of flesh on display. But its increasingly mawkish tone means it’s for softies only.
10/05/07
Top CriticSwinging from mildly irritating to rather enjoyable, the film eventually settles at merely watchable.
10/19/07
Top CriticOne big famine of fun.
10/05/07
If Raymond Carver had ever filed a last story collection from the Sunny Valley Lobotomy Clinic, it would be just like this.

If it's a choice between cleaning out the shed and seeing this - opt for the shed.

Top CriticThe performances are great, but in the end it's far too simplistic.
10/06/07
You end up rather hoping that when this crew of Cupid's casualties ask for an Americano to go they mean just that.

"Epidemic of Love" would be more like it.

Top CriticIt's nice to see these ideas played out by a fine -- and in several key roles, largely unfamiliar -- cast.
09/28/07
Top CriticAn exquisite tapestry of interlocking love stories, some of which end happily, some sadly, some farcically and one quite tragically. Throughout all the shifting moods, no single narrative disrupts the well-paced flow of the film as a coherent whole.
09/26/07
Director Robert Benton and screenwriter Allison Burnett tell a sobering, adult-geared tale of love's highs, lows and maddening twists and turns.
09/28/07
Contemplates the bodies of beautiful young people in order that it may more fully appreciate the predicament old people find themselves in.
09/27/07
The Feast movie, while not as transcendent as the book, is still pretty good.
09/28/07
Multiple narratives are fluidly interwoven and the writing is often inspired, resulting in dialogue that feels honest and insightful, if occasionally mannered.
09/28/07
Thanks to his excellent cast, and a very light touch, Benton makes these tangled relationships both real and touching.
03/19/08
A film that resonates in spite of its shortcomings...Feast of Love is a frothy, whimsical title--too frothy and too whimsical for a film that might have been more accurately named Woe Is Love.
