    Surprisingly smart film.

    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.
  3. A little gem, a sparkling comedy with serious undertones about friendship, self-discovery and artistic integrity.
  4. 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.

    Hits the wall and runs off the rails. They should've stuck to shtick.
  6. 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.
  7. For a little while, comedy ensues.

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

    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.
  10. Predictable and agonizingly politically correct.

    Hit and Runway is a case of the emperor's old clothes: drab, sentimental rags that desperately want to be something else.
  12. A shame that this indie's willingness to trade in stereotype leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
  13. The fictionalization of their journey is simply not that engrossing, nor are their alter egos, with their tightly scripted character arcs.
  14. 30
    A show about nothing—its jokes based on stick-figure stereotypes, its lunges at humanism premised on imbecilic pity.
