An entertaining kinky kick of a movie, a lightweight delight about dreamers and dilettantes.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
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.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten
Dano and Kline are very fine performers. So why is this comedy such a chore? The answer appears to be whimsy overload.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Rotten
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.
Sean O'Connell, Washington Post
