Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Losing Control nicely mixes comedic absurdity with weightier career vs. commitment themes.

rotten:
Perhaps investigating something new would have better served Weiss than simply looking to her own experiences, exploring rather than settling.

rotten:
Weiss's ideas about moviemaking, storytelling, and character development are indistinguishable from bargain-bin romantic comedies (so-called chick flicks) and television shows that barely last a season.

[Kent is] the least credible scientist since Denise Richards donned short shorts to play Dr. Christmas Jones.

rotten:
While Losing Control is a thoroughly likable, playful comedy, there's never a sense that writer-director Valerie Weiss is in total command of film's tone, pacing or comic content, which is considerable.
