At Home by Myself...With You

At Home by Myself...With You is a 2009 Canadian comedy-drama film directed by Kris Booth, in his directorial debut, and is co-written with Ramona Barckert.

[1] Kristin Booth won Best Performance by a Female in the film category at the 11th Canadian Comedy Awards.

He said that both actors "radiate enough charm to brighten the lamest of caricatures", and Abrams in particular, "creates a rakishly fun romantic interest".

He said this film is no exception, complaining the writing has "Romy acting like a child, shrinking away from her neighbour's advances because 'he might have cooties'", and that the "script doesn't really get to its emotional core - the battle between security and growth - until the third act ... all the interim juvenile nonsense about treasure hunts, stuffed animals and lobsters is a big cutesy-poo exercise in distraction".

[6] In his review for the Toronto Star, Jason Anderson wrote that the "people on screen often seem like walking, talking collections of cute quirks rather than characters worth caring about ... yet the film does have its charms, largely thanks to its cast ... Aaron Abrams, Shauna MacDonald and Rosemary Dunsmore make the most of their parts".
