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

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

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

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.

[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.

Graham ... has a certain joyfully lively screen presence that saves the film from itself.

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

Until it backs itself into a narrative corner, Lisa Krueger's Committed. is a delightfully unpredictable experience.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

In Committed [Graham] finally gets the chance to carry a movie, and she does so admirably.

As [a] romantic comedy, it falls flat.
