Alex, a novelist with serious writer's block and an even more serious gambling problem needs to finish his novel to pay his gaming debts. Frantically working to complete his novel in 30 days, Alex hires Emma, stenographer with strongly held opinions. Now, as characters resembling Emma appear in Alex's work and Emma challenges Alex's ideas at every turn, life begins to imitate art, and art to imitate life and Emma's irritating, intriguing influence on the novelist develops into a love between Alex & Emma.

Critics Consensus: A dull and unfunny comedy where the leads fail to generate any sparks.

Reviews

Behind The Lens

Debbie Lynn Elias

Hopefully, Rob Reiner just suffered a case of writer's block/director's block like his character Alex Sheldon with Alex & Emma.

The actors make this fun if you can overlook the ludicrous view of Jeremy Leven's screenplay concerning how novels are written and what publishers generally pay for them.

Film4

About as funny as root canal work and as romantic as a rainy fortnight in Wrexham. Rob Reiner should make a phone call to Christopher Guest a priority.

Uninspired -- neither romantic nor comic.

"Alex & Emma" has a light tone of modernized '20s inflected comedy that Woody Allen would love to still be able to capture in his movies.
