Even though Loverboy is only 86 minutes long, as it wore on, I wore out.
Rex Reed, New York Observer

There is a lot of skill on display here and a great performance but I can't recommend it either because this woman is so clearly and obviously abusive and insane.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

Emily is a complicated woman, all right, but she's a difficult person to spend an entire movie with.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

First-time director Kevin Bacon (Mr. Sedgwick) cleverly maintains a balance of discomfiting and familiar by jumping nimbly around Emily's life.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
