Top Critics Reviews

[A] drearily quirky mess.

fresh:
An entertaining kinky kick of a movie, a lightweight delight about dreamers and dilettantes.

The Extra Man is a disappointment coming from Berman and Pulcini, whose American Splendor was an imaginative biopic about the late comic-book author Harvey Pekar.

rotten:
Dano and Kline are very fine performers. So why is this comedy such a chore? The answer appears to be whimsy overload.

Swifter comedic timing and a clearer narrative thread might have helped center this peculiar adaptation of Jonathan Ames's 1998 novel of the same name. Then again, maybe not.
