    Posey, her attention divided up into slivers, is funny as hell, but she's also terrifying in her evocation of a kind of moment-to-moment PowerPoint existence.

    Writer-director Michael Walker keeps a firm grip on his smart material, offering up big laughs, lots of recognizable behavior and, in the end, a wistful glimpse at life's inevitable priorities.

    A hilarious Parker Posey provides her customary blast of brittle energy in Price Check, an engaging corporate comedy.

    Once Price Check darkens, it loses its comic footing, along with its nerve, and becomes a wishy-washy potpourri of elements that fail to mesh: backing away from its satirical potential, it sputters toward an evasive and unsatisfying ending. Ms. Posey, however, blithely sails above the fray.

    quite a decent film with a good plot, nice acting and decent dialogue. It's quite cynical and seems to display a contempt for marriage and the stresses it and kids places on relationships. There are some interesting plot twists and character developments that I didn't see coming. Very funny but also quite dark in parts. I liked it a lot. It's quite a quirky little number that sticks with you if you stick with it.… Expand

    Price Check starts off as workplace comedy, then as movie goes on it turns more into relationship drama. In the end what what it has left is bit of mix-and-match of both, yet neither working that well. On positive side the roles are carried out well by the actors.… Expand
