    A waste of a few hours. Dumb, dumb and even dumber. Totally predictable. Just a movie for some great actors to pick up the lunch check. Ho hum.

    If you like Shakespear you'll love this as the actors all can act very well. The problem is they have nothing to work with. George Segal is very good in a too brief role as the Rabbi pretending to be a stand up comedian? Come to think of it he is. S0-SO at best.

    Tony stop sniffing the glue will you please? Boring as hell unless you like to watch moss grow on a rock or paint drying? Avoid. If I want to Shakespear I will watch Shakespear not this twill.

    Someone told me if I wanted to see great acting to go see this. So I went. Next time I will watch moss grow on a rock or paint dry; however, it is well acted. But it goes nowhere as it loops around to exactly where you know they will all be by sundown. Not my cup of tea.

    A refund please if you will. Pretty lame joke of a movie. Everything telegraphed and then acted out as if it were a Shakeperian event. Awful.

    The substitute for Sominex. If you want to catch some ZZZZZ's here's the movie for you.

    Pompous Glen Close is overbearing trying to shag any guy despite the fact that they are all gay. Much ado about nothing. Left the theater empty although Elizabeth Banks is a future star and George Segal still has it.

    Take great actors and give them nothing to work with. The result is Heights. A waste of your time and money. Everything is totally predictable from the time the movie starts.

    A movie that means well with very good actors but limited dialogue and predictable TV sitcom-type behavior. Glenn Close does her best, and that's worth a watch.

    Great actors, great acting, but so what? Predictable and boring. Shakespear it is not. Is a rose by any other name not still a rose? This is a lemon.

    Plain and simple I hated it. Great actors going nowhere. Thank God it all took place in one day or else I would have had to kill myself. I gave a one for George Segal.

    This is a terrible movie that got some good reviews because it has a gay love scene.

    Doesn't anyone out there in Hollywood have any idea on how to make a movie that the audience could enjoy? Enough is enough.

    Heights comes crashing down to Earth soon after starting. Predictable and tedious with little surprises. George Segal as the Rabbi in an all too brief role could have saved this film but only with more screen time. The rest were capable robotic performances with little meat.

    My God this was awful. The advance Scout team obviously took No Doze before entering the theater. Earth to Greg don't quit your day job as your review is awful. Shakespear it is not.

    Director Chris Terrio confidently delivers a solid first feature, but sometimes doesn’t always engage in the characters’ inner demons, which could have made an even better film given the cast and material.

    As enjoyable as Close is, Heights as a whole is a mannered simulation that only occasionally and accidentally feels like real New York life.

    An entertaining ensembler marbled with wit and heartache.
