Washington Post Desson Thomson
The movie's entertaining for some wickedly funny situations and witticisms.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard
While both leads are appealing enough, it's the stuff on the sidelines that keeps All Over the Guy entertaining.
Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
Surprisingly, this didactic and self-consciously clever romantic comedy isn't annoying -- it's refreshing, moving, and at times quite funny.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan
Davis, with a nicely turned and witty screenplay from Bucatinsky, freshens up the familiar predicament by having her two lovers recount the affair to a stranger.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
A romantic comedy of wit and substance that actor-writer Dan Bucatinsky and director Julie Davis have moved gracefully from stage to screen with a change of title and sexual orientation.
Read Full Review >Variety Joe Leydon
Lightweight but likable romantic comedy about two mismatched gay singletons who are, of course, made for each other.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Loren King
Snappy but sappy romantic comedy.
Portland Oregonian Kim Morgan
It's still trite and a little too cutesy for its own good. Gay or straight, the cliches remain, but not to a stultifying degree.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Paula Nechak
The film leaves an acrid taste with the viewer who sits through its long and winding tale of tortured courtship.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
This modest picture is distinguished by some marvelously bitchy dialogue.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Jay Carr
Little more than a screenful of boy meets boy, boy meets baggage, boy loses baggage.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Wesley Morris
If you want to watch a gaggle of pretty faux-neurotic people hang out and throw quips, you're probably better off watching "Friends."
Read Full Review >New Times (L.A.) Andy Klein
The redeeming features of All Over the Guy are the consistently engaging performances and some genuinely funny dialogue.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jack Mathews
May be free of gay stereotypes, but it's absolutely riddled with romantic cliches. It's hard to see the progress in that.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dave Kehr
Some kind of equality has been achieved when it is impossible to distinguish heterosexual clichés from homosexual ones.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Ernest Hardy
Sitcom humor substitutes for wit, and tedious angst supplies the drama.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
The movie means well, but neither its emotions nor its performances ring very true.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
Indulges in some of the crudest Jewish stereotypes seen in a recent movie, right down to the crack about every Jewish girl having a nose job.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Edward Crouse
A painfully earnest case of generic romance spiced with queerness.

Allen K. gave it a2:
Oh god. Dialogue could have been read as a monologue. Everyone sounded exactly the same. Awful.
Oliver N. gave it a 10:
I loved it, very touching!

Very enjoyable film. And....isn't that what we want a film to be?
