Critic Reviews

Michael Rechtshaffen

A smart, sharply observed, highly affable look at contemporary relationships that finally injects a little life in the stagnating genre. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

A better than adequate date movie. Read full review

Liz Beardsworth

Freundlich's intelligent, very funny take on male-female relationships manages the not inconsiderable feat of being both jaded and appealingly fresh. Read full review

Steven Rea

Does the world really need another movie about a married guy wandering blindly into an affair, or the married gal who can't decide whether to remain faithful or fool around? Read full review

Scott Tobias

Trust The Man presents itself as a funny, insightful Manhattan relationship comedy in Woody Allen mode, but morphs into the phoniest of Hollywood rom-coms. Read full review

Chris Kaltenbach

It's possible that a smart, insightful, sharp-edged comedy could have been written around these characters, but Trust The Man isn't it. Read full review

Robert Wilonsky

Writer-director Bart Freundlich (Moore's husband) has nothing to say and nowhere to go with this material, except to the most contrived ending this side of a "Will & Grace" episode. Read full review

One of the funniest film that I ve seen in last years. Smart, romantic and extremely ironic and funny. I loved it. David Duchovny is one of the best actor ever.
