Summary: Susan has always been the self-centered oddball in her family, who lazily skated through life with their grudging support until one day she wakes up to realize she's middle-aged with no job, no relationship, and an increasingly estranged family. She finally decides to take charge and turn things around, but never having done anythingSusan has always been the self-centered oddball in her family, who lazily skated through life with their grudging support until one day she wakes up to realize she's middle-aged with no job, no relationship, and an increasingly estranged family.

Sean Hayes is a droll delight as Susan, who uses cynicism and snappy put-downs as a defense mechanism but has a real heart. Read full review

While the Nick Peet-directed film has its cheerfully outrageous moments . . . even mild shock value in the time of an epidemic might not be just what the doctor ordered. Read full review

It never quite works on its own. What’s crucial at the core is creating a character who feels like a real human being; Susan is more of a collection of quirks and bad choices. There just isn’t much to her. And the novelty alone of seeing Hayes play a woman is not enough to recommend this, although he does offer sporadic glimmers of vulnerability and humanity.

The proceedings, which also include Susan falling hard for a smarmy “Jumpoline” proprietor played by Jim Rash, are professionally executed. Yet the movie’s pace seems glacial. It’s as if the filmmakers tossed a bunch of fish into a barrel and didn’t bother to shoot them. Read full review

Despite its talented, overqualified cast, Lazy Susan simply feels like a mistake. Read full review

Lazy Susan aims hazily between the sad-sack valentine likes of “Muriel’s Wedding” and something more satirically misanthropic, missing a target it never quite commits to in the first place. Read full review

Lazy Susan is a very different kind of movie for different people. If you love great character actor performances, you will love this movie. Sean Hayes’ Susan is a deliciously awful person with a family to match. He really embodies this character and makes it feel more real than caricature.Lazy Susan is a very different kind of movie for different people.

A cast of great actors including American treasure Margot Martindale and Allison Janey fill in the cast for great ensemble performances.… Expand
