Eigeman has been in training for this kind of thing for years, but the pleasant surprise is Janssen, who shows a gift for clever dialogue. This is light fare, but it’s smart, enjoyable light fare.

Reviews for The Treatment
The smart screenplay and the terrific performances more than compensate for the lack of freshness.

This offbeat charmer succumbs to the same airless artificiality that has claimed many recent efforts in the genre.
