What makes Hit and Runway uniquely fun, however, is the unapologetic extent to which Livingston and Cohen turn it into an index of beloved Woody-isms.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
Surprisingly smart film.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
A little gem, a sparkling comedy with serious undertones about friendship, self-discovery and artistic integrity.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Does have a sort of endearing, earnest charm. But it would take much more than good intentions to save a film that rehashes cliches and concepts so unabashedly.

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard
Hits the wall and runs off the rails. They should've stuck to shtick.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold
Predictable and agonizingly politically correct.

TV Guide Ken Fox
Crams more subplots, minor characters and comic situations into 100 minutes than most sitcoms burn through in an entire season. And that's not necessarily a good thing.

Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan
Individual moments in Hit and Runway are quite funny, but as a send-up of action-movie mindlessness, the movie is sometimes as dumb as its targets.

San Francisco Chronicle Wesley Morris
For a little while, comedy ensues.

Boston Globe Jay Carr
A mildly diverting gay-straight odd couple comedy that has just enough bright one-liners to carry it past its plot structuring.

The New York Times A.O. Scott
Hit and Runway is a case of the emperor's old clothes: drab, sentimental rags that desperately want to be something else.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman
A shame that this indie's willingness to trade in stereotype leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
30
Village Voice Jessica Winter
A show about nothing—its jokes based on stick-figure stereotypes, its lunges at humanism premised on imbecilic pity.

Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones
The fictionalization of their journey is simply not that engrossing, nor are their alter egos, with their tightly scripted character arcs.

John J. gave it a 7:
All criticisms valid but the movie admits them out front and still engages not based on pity but humanity of male-male bond whether sexual or situational.
