		In Alex and Emma, Alex (Luke Wilson) is the author, who must repay a $100,000 debt to the Cuban mafia or face dire consequences.
		After his laptop is destroyed, he hires Emma (Kate Hudson), a stenographer who talks as much as she writes.
		As Alex dictates his novel to Emma, the movie cuts away to scenes from the novel, where Adam (Wilson) falls for a series of nannies (all played by Hudson).

	Alex and Emma
		Alex's novel is grating and annoying, and the film spends too much time with it, which means that it doesn't spend enough time with Alex and Emma.
		Alex hires Emma from a temp agency and she believes he is out to seduce her (why she agrees to be paid after a month's work of work is complete is also another mystery).
		Emma is initially a tad on the feminist empowerment side, and Alex is neurotic and depressed, and it's hard to believe that the writing process is fixing this.

	Alex and Emma - Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews
		Emma happens to be a fan of Alex' first book "Love Is Always Having To Say You're Sorry," else her personality would be borderline abrasive.
		Alex has no idea what he is going to write and Emma forces him to work in a manner that would make those Cubans envious.
		What flushes Alex and Emma for good is the very last scene, a tacked on job whose reason and resolution were so obvious that our audience started streaming for the exits with a full five minutes to go.

	Alex and Emma (2003): Reviews
		Alex Sheldon (Wilson) is an author whose writer's block is the least of his problems - he also happens to be flat broke and owes Cuban loan sharks $100,000.
		Emma writes everything down and then offers helpful suggestions, although she fails to supply the most useful observation of all, which would be to observe that the entire novel is complete crap.
		Alex & Emma is a literary-minded romantic comedy that barely passes English, and flunks chemistry.

	Alex & Emma reviewed by Steve Sailer for UPI; Kate Hudson, Rob Reiner, Luke Wilson, Dostoevsky, The Gambler, Jeremy ...
		The tepid romantic comedy "Alex and Emma" pairs Kate Hudson, the daughter of Goldie Hawn and quasi-stepdaughter of Kurt Russell, with Luke Wilson, the brother of comic leading man Owen Wilson.
		Like a recent Hungarian version of "The Gambler," "Alex and Emma" melds the tale of the novelist and his stenographer with the story-within-a-story that he narrates to her.
		The biggest single problem with "Alex and Emma" is the four male writers' obvious contempt for their female target audience.

	:: Family Movie Reviews - Alex and Emma ::
		Alex and Emma (PG-13), a new film opening Friday seems to have all the elements that I look for in a good romantic comedy.
		Ultimately, both pairs of star-crossed lovers — Alex and Emma, as well as his fictional characters — come to understand that true love is found when you recognize the value of substance over style.
		Because of these two scenes, Alex and Emma is inappropriate for a young PG-13 audience.

		Luke Wilson, who plays Alex, and Kate Hudson, who plays Emma, may each have their limitations for high drama, but both are in themselves easily likable and amiably engaging.
		Alex is supposed to be a gambler and a writer.
		Alex hires Emma to take his dictation as the days to his ultimata count down -- and apparently, she can take it better than we can (ba-dum-bump), as the requisite falling-in-love montage -- the film's only silent, and therefore most enjoyable, moment -- seems to illustrate.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Alex & Emma" review (2003) Rob Reiner, Luke Wilson, Kate Hudson
		The bland but likable young actress has made nothing but stinkers since showing early promise as a slapstick comedienne in "200 Cigarettes" and playing a hesitant bride-to-be in "Dr. T and the Women" before peaking in 2000's "Almost Famous," starring as a rock-band groupie with a heart of gold.
		In "Alex and Emma" (this week's alternative to "The Hulk"), she's a drab chatterbox stenographer who spends the whole picture second-guessing a writer's-blocked novelist (Luke Wilson), who has hired her to take dictation as he brainstorms his new book.
		While Wilson's ambling, off-the-cuff delivery style provides "Alex and Emma" a very few scattered, shining seconds of personality, 99 percent of his performance feels untethered yet blatantly scripted, and he's thoroughly unconvincing as a novelist.

	Alex And Emma
		Alex And Emma decides to do a modern take of this romance and presents Alex Sheldon, a man who must produce a book in 30 days or sleep with the fish, thanks to loan sharks that want their money back.
		Kate Hudson's Emma has her moments when she is puncturing Adam's story with insights that often reflect why "romance novels" written by men seldom work, ie the stories are often extensions of the male author's ego (Nicholas Sparks, anyone?).
		Alex And Emma, at the end of the day, is boring spoken in five different mangled accents.

		In the present day, Alex says he's exhausted from dictating such a scene and Emma says that she bets he is. Later, she comments that Adam never should have jumped in bed with Polina.
		Emma says that her mother died 6 years ago and heard that her estranged father drank himself to death.

		Aha, Anna has Emma's drab hair color and sweet smile, indicating that she is the perfect match for Adam, or Alex, or someone.
		Alex, being the ignorant sort that he is, needs some prodding and even a little crisis before he can make the right choice, for his protagonist and for himself.
		Emma, being the enabling sort that she is, earnestly coaxes his self-discovery, all the while designing to remake him in the image she prefers.

	Review: Alex and Emma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Alex and Emma is being positioned as counter-programming to the onslaught of testosterone-drenched films making their mark on the 2003 summer season.
		Alex and Emma, his first outing in four years, is not the movie to get him pointed in the right direction.
		Alex and Emma has a dual structure, not unlike the one employed with much greater effectiveness by Neil LaBute in Possession.

	Alex and Emma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Alex (Luke Wilson) is a hypochondriacal writer who hires Emma (Kate Hudson), a stenographer, so that he can dictate his new novel.
		The writing is clever enough so that the story that Alex is inventing does indeed help put into focus the block to their romance--his fears of intimacy and commitment.
		A more subtly honed script might have segued back and forth between the Alex and Emma scenes and the novel scenes with less of that narration, always a dangerous tool to use on film, demanding attention with droning talk instead of playing it out directly, visually.

		Alex is a gambler, and he's been taking risks that he shouldn't have, living beyond his means.
		Alex and Emma is Marceau's second foray into American comedy, and the actress felt very comfortable with Reiner directing.
		The novel that Alex is dictating to Emma includes the initially inconsequential character of an "au pair," but as the story develops, she moves to the forefront - reflecting Alex's developing real-world perceptions of Emma.

	calendarlive.com: 'Alex & Emma'
		"Alex and Emma" presents itself as a romantic comedy about a writer who's having problems producing what turns out to be an excellent book.
		Emma turns out to be a feisty type who can't resist the opportunity to second-guess every line and plot twist Alex comes up with.
		Alex's novel, set in 1924 and following the adventures of a young tutor who can't decide if he's in love with his sophisticated French employer or a poor but honest American au pair, is so dreadful that it's beyond believing anyone would want to publish it, let alone offer a six-figure advance.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Alex and Emma"
		That's the idea at the heart of the Rob Reiner romantic comedy "Alex & Emma," which is loosely based on the story behind Fyodor Dostoeveski's "The Gambler." The lore has it that Dostoevski owed a huge gambling debt and needed to complete a novel to pay it off.
		In "Alex & Emma," Alex Sheldon (Luke Wilson) is a writer who's desperately trying to finish his second novel, particularly considering that a duo of Cuban loan sharks keep showing up at his door to shake him down for the money he owes them.
		Alex does, at least, have a thesis statement for the work: "It's about the powerlessness of being in love, how it devours the insides of a person like a deadly virus.

		Even more mystifying is Emma's decision to take the job even though she won't be paid for a month — and only then if her employer isn't killed first.
		The story that Alex dictates, set in the 1920s on a fictional New England island, seems as if it were written by an F. Scott Fitzgerald wannabe.
		Alex re-imagines Emma as a sympathetic au pair with whom Adam, a struggling writer, strikes up a friendship.

		Meanwhile, in the real world, Emma criticizes Alex for letting his characters have sex so early in their relationships, but then winds up in bed with him in a matter of days (the state of their clothing reveals that theyâve done more than sleep).
		Conversations between Alex and Emma about sex arenât overly crude (there are mentions of "balls" and "bosoms"), but their playful banter isn't beneficial, either.
		At first, Emma is repulsed by this particular character trait, but as time goes by, she begins to see it as cute and "nice." Alex is an unrepentant gambler.

		However, they are the kind of film you catch five minutes of and before you know it, you’ve sat down to watch the end and an hour 20 has gone by and you haven’t dropped that human donor organ off in time like you were meant to.
		Alex (Luke Wilson) is a novellist who banged out a great book but is struggling with his second.
		Both are having a lot of fun with their roles and enjoying each other’s company and this washes into the feel of the film, creating a simple and fun film that couples or fans of romantic comedy will enjoy.

	Lee's Movie Info - Alex and Emma DVD Review
		There are two reasons why I could tolerate the new Rob Reiner film, “Alex and Emma,” a romantic comedy about a novelist and stenographer who fall for one another on the job.
		Alex goes through the writing process and lightly taps in on the process and psyche, but never quite goes very far.
		I can’t say that “Alex and Emma” is necessarily a bad movie, as there have been far worse of its kind, but there’s nothing to make me enjoy it all that much.

	KINNOPIO - Alex and Emma
		Alex (Wilson) is a novelist who has a $50,000 gambling debt with some very dangerous people, and he can pay it off with the advance his publisher is going to pay him on his next manuscript.
		Alex and Emma, as poorly written as it is, nearly doesn’t deserve the performances its two leads give.
		And Sophie Marceau, who plays the third side of the love triangle in Alex’s novel, is also well-cast as the materialistic matriarch, selling her character’s tempting sensuality and making it completely believable that she would be the object of every man’s affection.
