Despite it's unrealistic and somewhat questionable premise for love, Management is a cutesy, hopeful, romantic tale with a performance by Steve Zahn that takes him to a new level of performance and entertainment - a leading man.

Playwright-screenwriter Stephen Belber, making his directorial debut, has made a film that's very funny because, despite the slapstick of Mr. Harrelson's character and an ill-advised detour into a monastery, it can be so real.

A completely uproarious one-liner about Joe Strummer is still no reason to watch "Management." Had it stuck with insights on loners inadvertently backing themselves into emotional corners, rather than going for wackiness, it might have worked.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 15, 2009

Forget logic here, there's a good cast, nice chemistry and warm feelings all around as they all fumble around for something to bring meaning to their lives.

| Sep 28, 2009

So-so romcom about unlikely couple isn't too racy for teens.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 28, 2009

Not the funny, sunny romp the trailer promises, but a weary, weak attempt at romantic comedy that's far from feelgood.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 25, 2009

For the most part, Management avoids the standard rom-com clichés in favour of something more delicate and heartfelt.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 25, 2009

Despite the obvious Norman Bates-ish resemblance, Zahn is clearly supposed to be dishy. The Zahn/Aniston pairing is without chemistry and there frankly isn't a spark of real life in the whole film.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 25, 2009

Doing nothing to disprove the so-called Curse Of Friends is haphazard rom-com Management.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 25, 2009

Unable to decide between being a romantic comedy, a zany farce or a thoughtful study of two emotionally repressed losers finding fulfilment, it ends up a mess; but an intriguing mess.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 25, 2009

Zahn is adorable and Jennifer Aniston brings an endearing tartness to Sue but even their best efforts don't redeem the muddle of Management.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 25, 2009

Gentle and very sweet, this low-key romance takes some rather random turns as it drifts toward the obvious conclusion. But it's very nicely played, and it still manages to catch us emotionally.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 25, 2009

Enjoyably offbeat indie romcom that's never particularly funny but gradually wins you over, thanks to a quirky, unpredictable script and great performances.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 24, 2009

The only thing that prevents the entire thing from becoming an unpleasant mess is Zahn, an often comic character actor who has an endearing goofiness to him and to his performances.

| Sep 3, 2009

Gentle, goofy and never mean, Management isn't earth-shaking. But it's a fuzzy warm blanket of a movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 30, 2009

According to this misguided movie's wisdom, every woman should be so lucky to have her very own stalker to help her get her life in order.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 14, 2009

You watch Management thinking of the comedy Aniston and Zahn could have made, and wishing you were watching that movie instead.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 10, 2009

Goes for broke on sentiment but overlooks important details that make decent films great.
