The film's synopsis reads: "Stuck in Love is a romantic comedy-drama about the Borgens family of writers -- acclaimed novelist Bill, his ex-wife Erica, and their two adult children, Samantha and Rusty -- as they navigate the complexities of love over the course of one year. The story follows the characters through various romantic and familial struggles, from Rusty's first love and Samantha's complicated relationships to Bill's longing for his ex-wife, Erica, as she moves on with a new life. The film uses the family's shared passion for writing as a way to explore their experiences with love, loss, and second chances.
Stuck in Love has amassed a respectable score of 7.2/10 on IMDb. One fan said the film was the perfect "cold November night flick".
They added: "Stuck in Love is the perfect film to be placed in my November film category. This category is specifically for films that make you feel good, make you shed a tear or two and are full of clichés. 'Stuck In Love' is all of these things. I will start with the plot: The film is based on a broken family where the father, played by Greg Kinnear (typical dad actor), is still head over heels in love with his ex-wife, played by Jennifer Connelly. His two children, Sam and Rusty, played by Lily Collins and Nat Wolff, have responded to the divorce in different ways, and the film follows all four characters as they fall in and out of love."
