Looking for Kitty's pervasively underwhelming atmosphere renders all of its positive attributes moot ...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 19, 2014

They're just too dull, and we start to sympathize with the women who left them both behind.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 24, 2006

Burns and Numbers' David Krumholtz are very good in portraying Jack and Abe's need to re-establish a human connection.

| Sep 27, 2006

Sentimental yet insensate, this forgotten '04 trifle is Burns at his worst ...

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 8, 2006

Burns seems not nearly as engaged with his story as one would hope. And why should he be? He could write another like this before lunch.

| Sep 5, 2006

Another unsatisfying exploration of masculine anomie written, directed by and starring Edward Burns.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 1, 2006

Burns simply doesn't delve deeply enough into his characters for them to have sufficient emotional resonance for the viewer.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 1, 2006

Burns turns in a nicely understated performance; but it's David Krumholtz, as Abe, who's the backbone of the movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 1, 2006

Looking for Kitty offers moments of striking insight amid the inevitable self-indulgence.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 1, 2006

A disgruntled New York City private investigator forms an unlikely bond with a high school baseball coach from upstate in Edward Burns's latest exercise in maleness.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 31, 2006

Give Edward Burns at least a little credit for perseverance, because just about any other writer-director-actor who released a movie every couple of years to critical shrugs and audience indifference would've long since hung up his megaphone.

It might be the most maturely conceived role in Burns's films, but the plot around it is flimsy, the visual storytelling simpleminded, and the general ideas for character one-note.

Full Review | Aug 29, 2006

Ends up being a bit erratic ... the whole thing culminating in an oddly unsatisfying conclusion

| Aug 29, 2006

Burns returns to the themes he knows best: old-fashioned young men trying to figure out the world and the ways of women while forging kind of unlikely friendships.

Full Review | Aug 28, 2006

The real holdout is Burns, whose habitual regurgitation of well-trod themes (romantic loss, masculine bonding, and maturation) continues to pay ever-smaller dividends.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 27, 2006

Naggingly thin and unlikely to withstand much theatrical scrutiny.

| Aug 25, 2006

No climax, no real resolution, no nothing. One can understand why it remained on a shelf since it played Tribeca over two years ago.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.3/5 | Aug 25, 2006

The most convincing and engaging of the six features Edward Burns has turned out since The Brothers McMullen.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 24, 2006

One of the best films of the year catches the loss and loneliness of two men unwilling to let go of the past and step into a new day.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 24, 2006
