Critic Reviews
-
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
Like a sputtering career, Ellie Parker pretty much goes nowhere, and it's difficult to imagine that it would be of interest to many beyond the Hollywood community.
-
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The picture looks cheap and feels stretched.
-
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Eventually the energy of the original short runs out and the movie coasts on fumes, but it remains surprisingly enjoyable for all that.
-
Jessica Reaves, Chicago Tribune
The premise -- someone trying to inject meaning into a necessarily vacuous existence -- is depressing, but there are moments of vaguely uncomfortable hilarity. The whole endeavor, however, winds up feeling flat and a bit dull.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
This is the movie they should show in college acting classes, instead of tapes of Inside the Actors' Studio.
