Best two reviews:
1) The Hollywood Reporter - The pic may have an unlikely story (in real-world love affairs, this kind of second chance rarely ends happily), but benefits from unusually authentic performances. (Rating: 80) Read Full Review >
2) The Playlist - The Boy Downstairs straddles a patchy line between comedy and drama with mixed results, but when all is said and done, the auspicious film acts like a mature consideration of the scariness of vulnerability and laying your heart on the line. (Rating: 75) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:

3) Movie Nation - There’s not much to say about the enervated romance The Boy Downstairs, except that literally every character and actor playing that character is more interesting than the leads. (Rating: 38) Read Full Review >
