September 19, 2008Inconsequential but well acted yarn with a believable central relationship 'on the rocks' but an unconvincing stoner brother character. Oh and enough with the 'dude' and 'man' tags on every utterance.

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
The Puffy Chair is a low-key road movie that, fittingly enough, has knocked around the festival circuit for a while and opened in a few theaters before arriving in New York today. The journey it depic...

The film never quite strikes a comfortable or graceful balance between silliness and solemnity. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
The sly ultra-low-budget film The Puffy Chair fits right in with recent news reports about college graduates refusing to grow up already. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
For the Duplass brothers and Aselton, The Puffy Chair looks like the beginning of fine careers. full review
