Summary

RATING: R for language and some sexual references

Starring Edward Burns, David Krumholtz, Rachel Dratch, Chris Parnell, Shari Albert, Connie Britton, Max Baker, and Craig Carlisle

Another witty and humane ode to male bonding, Looking for Kitty tells the story of Abe (Krumholtz), an upstate New York high school basketball coach, who wakes up to discover that his beautiful wife Kitty has disappeared. When someone sends Abe a photo from a newspaper showing a rock star and his entourage, including a woman who could be Kitty, Abe heads to New York City and hires a private detective (Burns) to find her.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

Offers moments of striking insight amid the inevitable self-indulgence.

New York Post V.A. Musetto

A slight movie. But it has its share of charm and is a pleasant way to spend a little over an hour. It also is a sign that Burns might actually have talent.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Never adds up to much of anything.

The New York Times Laura Kern

This is a modest film on various levels, in terms of budget, length, cast size and technical craft. Though passable at best, the digital camerawork does aptly convey the bleakness of the city’s sidewalks and streets during winter.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Noel Murray

Burns has continued to cram one-dimensional characters into thinly plotted comedy-dramas, hoping to re-impress moviegoers with his aloof leading-man charm and faux-natural, trying-too-hard-to-be-funny dialogue.

Village Voice Michael Atkinson

It might be the most maturely conceived role in Burns's films, but the plot around it is flimsy, the visual storytelling simpleminded, and the general ideas for character one-note. At 78 minutes, the movie says howdy, rewards little, and does not test its welcome.

Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown

Burns pads around Gotham, yammering yesterday's op-eds about Disneyfication and ''classic New York holdouts.'' He somehow manages to sound fogyish AND immature.
