Tambor and Clayburgh make an appealing couple - he's understated and sardonic, she's appealingly manic and energetic. Both deserve better.

Full Review | Sep 26, 2002

After a while, Never Again gets so busy celebrating ageless virility that it forgets to tell a decent story.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 8, 2002

Tambor and Clayburgh are actually both very likeable in their roles, but the script is just miserable.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 3, 2002

There are enough things that poke out rather boldly from Never Again's modest proportions to keep it verging on interesting. And not all of them are strapped to Jill Clayburgh's waist.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 26, 2002

Just offbeat enough to keep you interested without coming close to bowling you over.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jul 26, 2002

Clayburgh and Tambor are charming performers; neither of them deserves Eric Schaeffer.

| Original Score: D- | Jul 26, 2002

Rarely does a film so graceless and devoid of merit as this one come along.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jul 26, 2002

What Eric Schaeffer has accomplished with Never Again may not, strictly speaking, qualify as revolutionary. But it's defiantly and delightfully against the grain.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 19, 2002

Full of the kind of obnoxious chitchat that only self-aware neurotics engage in.

| Jul 19, 2002

Excruciatingly unfunny and pitifully unromantic.

Full Review | Jul 19, 2002

A fresh cast, but a stale story.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 19, 2002

Never Again swings between false sentiment and unfunny madcap comedy and, along the way, expects the audience to invest in the central relationship as some kind of marriage of true minds.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 19, 2002

The character is too forced and overwritten to be funny or believable much of the time, and Clayburgh doesn't always improve the over-the-top mix.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 19, 2002

Here's a case of two actors who do everything humanly possible to create characters who are sweet and believable, and are defeated by a screenplay that forces them into bizarre, implausible behavior.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 19, 2002

A bad movie that happened to good actors.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 18, 2002

I doubt if the solution to the movie industry's ludicrous ageism is showing 50-year-olds acting like randy 20-year-olds.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 18, 2002

The characters are a major pain in the ass, to each other and to us.

Thumbs up.

Schaeffer has to find some hook on which to hang his persistently useless movies, and it might as well be the resuscitation of the middle-aged character.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 12, 2002

Never Again doesn't quite rise above the conventions it attempts to deconstruct, but at its center are two gifted actors who are more than willing to take chances.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 12, 2002
