Attempts to redeem the character in the final act, not wholly successfully.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 13, 2022

The sitcom-ish direction drags it further in the direction of complacency, but Hale and the focused writing ensure it has a kind-hearted integrity.

The oddball Tony Hale is taken for a stalker in unexpectedly sweet and funny comedy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 1, 2021

It becomes funny and sentimental in a way that makes me think the film doesn't understand how dark and disturbing the premise really is.

But Abramovitch doesn't quite strike the right tone for Hale's performance. The story gets even more implausible as it goes on, yet never moves on from making fun of Sid until the very end.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 30, 2021

With his debut film, "Eat Wheaties!," Scott Abramovitch has wrangled the kind of cast that most first-time directors dream of... But what Abramovitch does with such a lineup is an unfortunate, unfunny mess.

[I]ts content and execution are innocuous to the point of tedium, while the protagonist is no undervalued sweetie but the kind of grating personality that can clear a room.
