Falling in Love will serve as a definitive example of good performances in a bad movie.

De Niro and Streep are known for their acting intensity: an accent here, a few pounds gained there, a dash of Method madness everywhere. That’s why it’s a kick to watch them play what to them must be the most fantastical creatures ever: ordinary people.

...an often excessively deliberate drama that’s only able to capture the viewer’s interest in short-lived fits and starts...

A simple, and great, love story that avoids unnecessary moral or ethical pamphlets. [Full review in Spanish]

Falling in Love is a decent film. It is about Frank and Molly run into each other while shopping for Christmas. Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep give good performances. The script is a little slow in places. Ulu Grosbard did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and romance.

Sincere romantic drama, often unintentionally funny. Vey low-key, starring 2 of the best actors of their generation. Swift direction by Ulu Grosbard.

Falling in Love is a good romance flick spearheaded by two brilliant performances by Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro. This film luckily doesn't take the straight forward route. I loved the way that it was handled with their current partners the most because it is a sensitive subject and they are both in difficult situations because both of their partners are actually nice people. Especially Robert De Niro because of his two kids. Meryl Streep's character is more fleshed out but I liked De Niro's character too and the long conversations between the two.
