They're just too dull, and we start to sympathize with the women who left them both behind.

Reviews for Looking for Kitty
1 - 18 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Burns and Numbers' David Krumholtz are very good in portraying Jack and Abe’s need to re-establish a human connection.
09/27/06
Sentimental yet insensate, this forgotten '04 trifle is Burns at his worst ...
09/08/06
Burns seems not nearly as engaged with his story as one would hope. And why should he be? He could write another like this before lunch.
09/05/06
Another unsatisfying exploration of masculine anomie written, directed by and starring Edward Burns.
09/01/06
Burns simply doesn't delve deeply enough into his characters for them to have sufficient emotional resonance for the viewer.
09/01/06
Burns turns in a nicely understated performance; but it's David Krumholtz, as Abe, who's the backbone of the movie.
09/01/06
Looking for Kitty offers moments of striking insight amid the inevitable self-indulgence.
09/01/06
A disgruntled New York City private investigator forms an unlikely bond with a high school baseball coach from upstate in Edward Burns's latest exercise in maleness.
08/31/06
Top CriticGive Edward Burns at least a little credit for perseverance, because just about any other writer-director-actor who released a movie every couple of years to critical shrugs and audience indifference would've long since hung up his megaphone.
08/31/06
It might be the most maturely conceived role in Burns's films, but the plot around it is flimsy, the visual storytelling simpleminded, and the general ideas for character one-note.
08/29/06
Ends up being a bit erratic ... the whole thing culminating in an oddly unsatisfying conclusion
08/29/06
Burns returns to the themes he knows best: old-fashioned young men trying to figure out the world and the ways of women while forging kind of unlikely friendships.
08/28/06
The real holdout is Burns, whose habitual regurgitation of well-trod themes (romantic loss, masculine bonding, and maturation) continues to pay ever-smaller dividends.
08/27/06
Naggingly thin and unlikely to withstand much theatrical scrutiny.
08/25/06
Top CriticNo climax, no real resolution, no nothing. One can understand why it remained on a shelf since it played Tribeca over two years ago.
08/25/06
The most convincing and engaging of the six features Edward Burns has turned out since The Brothers McMullen.
08/24/06
One of the best films of the year catches the loss and loneliness of two men unwilling to let go of the past and step into a new day.
