Top CriticThis slow, stilted comedy just sits there and whines... kind of like its lead.

If Paymer and Chao had any chemistry together we might be more interested in their budding romance
06/26/04
An all too apt title for a would-be comedy in which everyone in it and everything about it seems willfully designed to be unfunny.

A small, delightful indie flick with a singular voice and spry wit. Rarely is a title so willfully far from accurate.

Paymer has developed a sort of practiced gravitational pull, and his easy confidence, enhanced by eyes that can only be described as soulful, elevates his character from a flat Woody Allen wannabe to a fully realized human being.
