Reviews for The Pick-Up Artist
1 - 20 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
James Toback's long-gestating portrait of a one-track mind becomes bogged down in unconvincing plot mechanics.
02/27/08
Top CriticToback has devised an interesting premise that draws parallels between risking one's heart and one's wallet, but the picture itself risks little.

The film roams from the Upper West Side to Coney Island to Atlantic City, maintaining a lighthearted style that doesn't quite match the hints of obsessiveness in Mr. Toback's screenplay.

Pickup's 'little more' is in its quirky characters and its intentionally goofy melodrama.
01/01/00
Downey, who worked for one season on Saturday Night Live, has just the right emotional weight for the role of Jack, and the right touch of goofy boyishness to soften his aggressiveness.
01/01/00
A light and fairly innocuous youth picture.
01/01/00
This is an appallingly silly movie, from its juvenile comic overture to its dreadfully sincere conclusion.
