Aniston and Zahn are sweet together - their respective characters have built up psychic armor to keep the outside world at bay, and each breaks down the other's in revealing ways.
By Steven Rea FULL REVIEW

Zahn is the single biggest reason why Management is a delightfully screwball romantic comedy and not a crazed-stalker film. And why it works. Like watching a puppy chase its own tail, it's a pleasure watching Mike try to win Sue over.

Ultimately delivers the goods, even if the goods aren't very fresh.

This quirky indie romance is beguiling at first but later succumbs to artifice.
By Andrea Gronvall FULL REVIEW

A sentimental -- and modestly enjoyable -- fantasy of mutual need.
By Joe Morgenstern FULL REVIEW
50
A standard-order romantic comedy with many of the expected twists and complications. It suffers from the flaw of not giving the lead characters enough time together.
By James Berardinelli FULL REVIEW

Isn't it time Steve Zahn grew up? Ever since the '90s, this walking quirk of an actor has pushed his dazed solipsistic zaniness (he's like Michael J. Fox’s hillbilly cousin), but he's 41 now, and it no longer looks cute on him.
