Critic Reviews

  • Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

    Not only the best American picture of 2004, but also the most grown-up movie to come from Hollywood in recent years.

  • Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

    A bland, occasionally phlegmatic pastiche of cliches and dull encounters.

  • Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

    Ultimately, this workplace fairy tale creates its own cheer. When its time is up, you'll feel like you've been in good company.

  • Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News

    If the rest of the movie were as good as Scarlett, we might give a damn.

  • Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

    A richly satisfying and darkly funny movie about, of all places, a workplace.
