Movie Reviews

  • these characters might be full of color and whimsy on the page
    by Ian Buckwalter [NPR ]
  • the film manages to ingratiate thanks to a script that pleasantly ping-pongs from one digressive dialogue to another
    by Eric Hynes [Village Voice ]
  • present a mosaic of crazy New York life, but instead seems more like a shaggy-dog story being spun out by an easily distracted barfly over the course of an idle afternoon
    Review rate : C+ by Alison Willmore [AV Club ]
  • its cast keeps it watchable and likeable
    2.5 of 4 by Kalvin Henely [Slant Magazine ]
  • Hall's puppy-dog charisma holds up under the strain, but it isn't nearly enough to keep this messy midlife-crisis dramedy afloat
    2.5 of 5 by Sam Adams [Time Out New York ]
  • for all the sex that's depicted here, the film isn't very sexy
    by David Noh [Film Journal International ]
  • although it has some cute repartee, this movie more often than not confuses eccentricity with originality
    by Stephen Holden [New York Times ]
  • aiming for the delightfully offbeat, pic instead feels rudderless and incomplete, kept watchable by performers nonetheless undermined by their material
    by Dennis Harvey [Variety ]
  • a quality cast is wasted amid dismally unfunny scenes
    1 of 4 by Kyle Smith [New York Post ]
  • a lack of testosterone can be a defining attribute worth a few laughs when coupled to an eccentric subset of neighbors and strangers
    3 of 5 by Jules Brenner [Filmcritic.com ]
