Rotten
A dreary and depressing alleged comedy that takes a talented cast and a promising germ of an idea, and kills it dead.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
This may be the most laugh-free comedy of the year.
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Rotten
Between Mr. Thornton's wry performance and Tami Reiker's nuanced wide-screen photography, you half-expect Woodcock to deliver more than formulaic laughs.
Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times
Rotten
This movie makes a much better case study for aspiring entertainment executives than it does a cinematic experience. What it most emphatically is not is a date movie.
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
