Ty Burr Boston Globe Rated: 2/4 Nov 24, 2011 Full Review Cliff Doerksen Chicago Reader [A] drearily quirky mess. Sep 23, 2010 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News An entertaining kinky kick of a movie, a lightweight delight about dreamers and dilettantes. Rated: B Sep 10, 2010 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Though Kevin Kline’s performance as an escort to rich old Manhattan ladies isn’t the only reason to see The Extra Man, it’s the main one. Rated: 3/4 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Difficult to recommend when the sample is enough to instill fear. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 18, 2022 Full Review Troy Patterson Spin Extra Man's superfluous oddities threaten to obscure its peculiar charms. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

w r It's to bad there's not an expiration date on movies. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not sure what all the bad reviews are about. I found the movie charming and the original story line refreshing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A lost opportunity to be a very good movie ! Not to mention the last 20 minutes... That's a pity: The acting is well done and the main characters are empathetic more than bizarre. But something went wrong at the end... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Just kinda pointless with no reward 2.2 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/21 Full Review Audience Member The extra man could’ve benefited with a better script and more laughs. The movie wants to be a quirky comedy but it just doesn’t go that extra mile. The performances here are good and Kevin Kline plays a especially funny quirky character. I just wanted more. Other actors in the film like John C Reilly are barely used and wasted. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/21 Full Review ikiru y It seems like they were trying to mimic the cultured zaniness of Wes Anderson, but it failed pretty badly. Kevin Kline was at his manic, scene stealing best. It is too bad he couldn't carry the whole picture...but he tries. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
