Variety
Indie comedy about an unsuccessful playwright who very nearly talks himself out of his last best chance for happiness recalls the early work of Woody Allen. But pic stands on its own merits as witty and well-observed grown-up fare. - 60
Film Threat
Winds up being enjoyable, even though the only character I really liked was the main one, played by David Paymer. Everyone else I wanted to whack in the ass with a tire iron. - 40
L.A. Weekly
Paymer is the key to this mild-mannered comedy built on easy setups and borscht-belt one-liners. - 20
Los Angeles Times
Paymer and many others in a large cast are well-established players with strong credits, and they do the best they can to pump life into remorselessly glum material.
