63Graham is lots of fun to watch, but it's hard to reconcile the split halves of her character.
-
63Graham is funny and adorable in this endearing little romantic comedy.
-
63Krueger's comedy doesn't always spark, but its underlying intelligence - not to mention Graham's eyes - shines through.
-
63Runs dry amid the cactus and sagebrush, but Graham's cartoony take on angelic unstoppableness makes us not mind so much.
-
63Writer-director Lisa Krueger bends over backward to make everyone happy.
-
61There's a sense of life to Committed that's unpredictable and sweet, but too much of it is cluttered with lazy shortcuts.
-
50It's a fizzle as as comedy. Still, the film has character.
-
50Works as a quixotic study of emotional quirks.
-
50But one can only imagine how different the film might have been with, say, Parker Posey or Catherine Keener -- truly funky actresses with some real edge -- in the lead.
-
50The best thing about Committed, though, is Krueger, a filmmaker who's not only willing to lead us into the well-traveled terrain of romantic comedy, but able to show us something new there.
-
50It's a one-joke premise that ultimately wears thin, but Krueger works some playful variations on a theme.
-
50With its capacity to surprise, the film comes to life when you don't expect it to, in tiny but wonderfully off-center moments.
-
50This romantic comedy turns stereotypes inside out as the main character, whose sense of commitment is represented by a tattoo on her finger instead of a wedding ring.
-
42An inert screwball cartoon, a celebration of monogamy as fashion statement.
-
42You need to accept the fact that practically everyone in the picture, particularly the leading lady, is a boneheaded nitwit.
-
42The real problem here is that director Krueger has no flair as a writer or a director for inspired screwball comedy.
-
40Graham maintains a casual charm throughout it all, but she lacks the kind of emotional depth that might have pulled this hodge-podge together.
-
40Until it backs itself into a narrative corner, Lisa Krueger's Committed is a delightfully unpredictable experience.
-
40Comedy, like marriage, takes more work than this.
-
40Should have never made it up the distribution aisle.
-
38One more movie comedy about how love can turn you into an idiot. And its major flaw, among many others, is that the idiocy takes over the movie.
-
30Afailed attempt at a hipster screwball comedy. Very failed.
