I love this movie most of all because of its career-defining performance by Slate. Her work here reminds me of Tom Hanks from '80s comedies.

Landline seems to barely bear its own weight. But it's one of those movies that has something to say about cheating -- by cheaters.

A lovely success.

A romantic comedy that soundly rejects the allure of charismatic assholes in favor of milquetoast romance; its platonic ideal is essentially the reading-while-your-boyfriend-plays-video-games phase in a relationship.

Landline ultimately succumbs to a trope it eagerly tries to avoid-it ties things up with a bow.

A zippy and friendly episodic comedy and coming-of-age story ...

Landline is a very funny film about people dealing with very serious situations. Better the Jacobs family than us.

You can't go wrong with fine actors like Turturro and Edie Falco as the unappreciated mom. But it's Quinn as the feisty kid sister who shines.

Landline never quite finds its emotional footing. As a result, it makes for a generic drama/comedy hybrid that will be forgotten the next day.

A very satisfying movie experience.

"Landline," at times, feels a bit inert, that it's coasting on the novelty of '90s nostalgia without justifying that choice, and allowing those references to stand in for actual propulsive storytelling and jokes.

Landline never creates the feeling that anything momentous hangs in its easy-going balance, but it has been drawn with affection for characters whose struggles, for the most part, feel real -- if not profound.
