Committed isn't [Heather] Graham's fault. If, for the first time on screen, she's charmless and annoying, it's better to pin the fault on director/writer Lisa Krueger, whose simplistic moralizing keeps Committed a dull, trying experience.

Neither the characters nor situations are as sympathetic or funny as writer-director Lisa Krueger seems to think.

| Apr 30, 2020

It's a one-joke premise that ultimately wears thin, but [Lisa] Krueger works some playful variations on a theme.

| Apr 30, 2020

Audaciously devised by writer-director Lisa Krueger, combines a gently surreal reverence for Americana with a serious examination of cultural values.

The best thing about Committed is [Lisa] Krueger, a filmmaker who's not only willing to lead us into the well-traveled terrain of romantic comedy, but able to show us something new there. All she asks is that we have a little faith.

The performers, including the very weird Casey Affleck and Goran Visnjic do their best to charm. But they're merely covering up for the movie's dramatic emptiness.

| Apr 30, 2020

[Lisa] Krueger's ambling, low-key style allows for a few incidental pleasures, the ever-watchable Casey Affleck chief among them, but without a single compelling reason to exist, Committed remains hollow at its core.

The movie is an inert screwball cartoon, a celebration of monogamy as fashion statement.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 7, 2011

Somewhat bizarre chick flick. R for language.

A well-crafted, clever comedy.

Krueger deserves credit for pulling off what amounts to a madcap date movie.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 15, 2002

Committed is one of those quirky, plotless movies that substitutes novelty for story.

The lethargic script could benefit from its heroine's singularity of purpose.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 18, 2002

One more excruciatingly charmless American indie comedy.

Like Joline, Committed is pretty to look at but ultimately too irritating to spend 90 minutes with.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Combines what seems like every indie clich into a single motion picture.

| Jan 1, 2000

Graham finally delivers the star performance she's been promising for so long.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

In the end the film feels like a missed opportunity to examine something real.

| Jan 1, 2000

A terminally cute bit of feminist whimsy.
