Committed

New York Daily News Jami Bernard

Graham is lots of fun to watch, but it's hard to reconcile the split halves of her character.

Boston Globe Jay Carr

Runs dry amid the cactus and sagebrush, but Graham's cartoony take on angelic unstoppableness makes us not mind so much.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

Graham is funny and adorable in this endearing little romantic comedy.

Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman

Writer-director Lisa Krueger bends over backward to make everyone happy.

Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea

Krueger's comedy doesn't always spark, but its underlying intelligence - not to mention Graham's eyes - shines through.

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

There's a sense of life to Committed that's unpredictable and sweet, but too much of it is cluttered with lazy shortcuts.

LA Weekly Hazel-Dawn Dumpert

The 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.

San Francisco Chronicle Peter Stack

It's a fizzle as as comedy. Still, the film has character.

Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

With its capacity to surprise, the film comes to life when you don't expect it to, in tiny but wonderfully off-center moments.

San Francisco Examiner Wesley Morris

Works as a quixotic study of emotional quirks.

Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector

This 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.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers

It's a one-joke premise that ultimately wears thin, but Krueger works some playful variations on a theme.

TV Guide Ken Fox

But 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.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

An inert screwball cartoon, a celebration of monogamy as fashion statement.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold

The real problem here is that director Krueger has no flair as a writer or a director for inspired screwball comedy.

Portland Oregonian Shawn Levy

You need to accept the fact that practically everyone in the picture, particularly the leading lady, is a boneheaded nitwit.

Washington Post Desson Thomson

Should have never made it up the distribution aisle.

The New York Times Dana Stevens

Comedy, like marriage, takes more work than this.

Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten

Graham maintains a casual charm throughout it all, but she lacks the kind of emotional depth that might have pulled this hodge-podge together.

Film.com Robert Horton

Until it backs itself into a narrative corner, Lisa Krueger's Committed is a delightfully unpredictable experience.

Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

One 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.

Film.com Ernest Hardy

Afailed attempt at a hipster screwball comedy. Very failed.
