If Raymond Carver had ever filed a last story collection from the Sunny Valley Lobotomy Clinic, it would be just like this.

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

Reviews for Feast of Love
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.
10/05/07
Feast 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
One big famine of fun.
10/05/07
"Epidemic of Love" would be more like it.
10/05/07
Top CriticIt's sentimental stuff, but amusing in places.
10/05/07
Top CriticSwinging from mildly irritating to rather enjoyable, the film eventually settles at merely watchable.
10/19/07
Top CriticThe 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.

Top CriticIf my life was made into a film it would be this one. Long, boring, occasionally pretentious and completely uninvolving.
09/28/07
No director alive can make family melodramas as brilliantly as Douglas Sirk once did, but I'd suggest that Robert Benton comes the closest.
09/27/07
What Feast of Love lacks in nutritive value it makes up for with heaping wads of artificial sweeteners.
10/13/07
The majority of the film is filled with arguing, betrayal and fear with a twinge of hope.
03/03/08
The screenplay combines philosophy, melodrama, and clichés to engaging effect.
09/27/07
Kinnear delivers the goods
09/27/07
Sprawling, messy, yet occasionally affecting.
09/26/07
A positively enchanting romantic drama adapted from a novel by Charles Baxter that speaks volumes about love and challenges us all to grow a bigger heart.
