Maggie Moore(s)

The film is an enjoyably slippery concoction that further proves Hamm has the leading-man chops that major studios so desperately need.

You can craft a bleak parable about human venality and cruelty or you can tell a heartwarming story about the miracle of human connection. But when you try to do both at once, it feels jarring.

Maggie's crackling cast, including Tina Fey and Nick Mohammed, handles the clever dialogue with aplomb.

The sort of affable B-project that feels at home on VOD, where you trip over it almost by accident and start smiling as you rub your toe.

Maggie Moore(s) is easy to watch, because the actors are talented and the tone is light.

What Slattery conjures... for some reason, is a continual sourness and decay, which gets into every crevice of the action...

Actor-turned-director John Slattery’s first film in a decade is a terrific Coen-esque caper filled with colourful characters, dark humour and delightful dialogue.

...a pretty-good endeavor that feels like it could (and should) be so much better.

The talented cast suffers from underwritten characters that just about get by on charm, while a pervasive cartoonishness means nothing carries much weight and the film, while watchable, will likely be quickly forgotten.

The two [Jon Hamm and Tina Fey] spark off each other nicely but stirring romance into this brew doesn’t make it go down any more easily.
