Annie (Rose Byrne) is stuck in a long-term relationship with Duncan (Chris O'Dowd) - an obsessive fan of obscure rocker Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke). When the acoustic demo of Tucker's hit record from 25 years ago surfaces, its release leads to a life-changing encounter with the elusive rocker himself. Based on the novel by Nick Hornby, Juliet, Naked is a comic account of life's second chances.

- Chris O'Dowd is good, as always. I feel like he's the kind of guy who will always deliver if the material is there, in terms of both comedy and the drama.Reply

- It's a pleasant watch, partly because the characters are pleasant. And the fact that they can be alternately wise, foolish, earnest, or full of shit depending on the situation just makes them feel more real.Reply
- What Juliet, Naked may lack in depth it makes up for in pure, uncut charm - especially from [Rose] Byrne.Reply
- [Rose] Byrne is the heart of Juliet, Naked, and she's so winning I was willing to forgive even the odd spasm of Meg Ryan-ish mugging.Reply
- There is a quality to these performances and an earnestness to the filmmaking that's more than enough to recommend.Reply

- I ... walked out grinning, looking forward to the moment when I get to share this beautiful little movie with my friends.Reply
- Juliet, Naked is a hilarious adaptation of Nick Hornsby's book that centers on a quirky man's obsession with one rockstar that hinders a romantic relationship.Reply
- "Juliet, Naked" is a gently winning romantic comedy, all keyed to a delightful note of indie-rock obsession.Reply
