The Fantasticks is a 2000 American musical romantic comedy film directed by Michael Ritchie. The screenplay by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt is based on their record-breaking off-Broadway production of the same name, which ran for 17,162 performances (and was subsequently revived off-Broadway).

Though it was made in 1995, the film did not see a proper (though very limited) release until 2000 in an abridged form. It received mixed reviews from critics.
