Aggressively derivative though The Longest Week is, however, it’s clearly the work not of a lazy thief, but of a raw talent who’s still struggling to find his own voice. In the meantime, his impressions are pretty darn impressive. Read full review

The considerable charms of Jason Bateman and Olivia Wilde get a considered workout in the lightly charming New York romance The Longest Week. It’s a droll comedy, with a droll narration. Read full review

A blithely derivative romantic comedy that isn’t without a certain smug charm. Read full review

Just like the character of Conrad, the movie coasts on confidence without ever proving it has a soul. Read full review

We quite like all these actors, so there are moments of humor. However in order to pull this off director Peter Glanz is going to need several much more clever ideas and an something incredible and surprising for a conclusion. It feels like glanz may be no more clever that the characters in this movie. Hopefully that’s not the case and he can surprise us next time, because visually this was fun.… Expand

I'm watching Jason Bateman in Ozark which is probably his best role in years. So watching him in this mediocre comedy was a low blow of insatisfaction.
