The Treatment Reviews

It's an intelligent and thought-provoking romantic comedy.

| Original Score: B | May 7, 2008

Its otherwise straightforward narrative does what it can to revive the corpse of grown-up romance, with just enough surrealism to save the film from its more serious impulses.

| Feb 1, 2008

Valiant effort, but someone should have begged for a rewrite.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2007

A small film about a high school teacher in an elite Manhattan prep school, but it's filled with large doses of wit and insight.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 12, 2007

The Treatment finds its agreeable pace. We've heard this particular story before, but it holds up to a skilled retelling.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 24, 2007

Oren Rudavsky's adaptation of Daniel Menaker's novel is a quietly enjoyable romantic comedy for adults who like to see characters acting like adults.

| Original Score: B | Aug 23, 2007

This film is so much more believable, amusing and entertaining than the crap we had to listen to in 'Knocked Up'.

--- cerebral, intelligently written and well acted adult fare ---

Chris Eigeman finally gets to show his range in this romantic comedy.

| Aug 10, 2007

A smart, tender love story.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 10, 2007

Janssen is an intense screen presence. Too often she's stuck playing humorless towering antagonists. Here, happily, she's allowed to be a real person.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 9, 2007

Eigeman has been in training for this kind of thing for years, but the pleasant surprise is Janssen, who shows a gift for clever dialogue. This is light fare, but it's smart, enjoyable light fare.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 9, 2007

The three main performances are what carry the film

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 14, 2007

...our emotional involvement remains superficial, and we never get that sense of uplift that Allen's better romantic city tales have given us.

| Jul 5, 2007

Who wants to behave well in bed?

| Jun 29, 2007

Considering the furious pace at which Allen himself cranks out second-rate comedies these days, why bother with a limp imitation?

| Jun 23, 2007

Having an affair of the heart...and mind.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 16, 2007

Treatment has small intentions, but its friendliness and caution with melodrama makes it a swell change of pace from other neurotic essays on self-absorption.

| Original Score: B | Jun 14, 2007

The Treatment is richest when it zooms in on the testy co-dependence between analyst and analysand. It's high time for a comedy about the decline and fall of traditional psychoanalysis.

Full Review | Jun 14, 2007

The Treatment feels too much like an indulgence.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 25, 2007
