    The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis

    A movie that reveals its toxic intentions only gradually. Until it does, there is much to enjoy in the prickly odd-couple relationship of Henry (Billy Crudup) and Rudy (Tom Wilkinson), successful writing partners and longtime friends.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    The movie is a first-time directorial effort by Justin Theroux, a splendid actor, son of the writer Phyllis, nephew of the novelist Paul. He might have done better to have taken on something by them.

    Variety Todd McCarthy

    Individual scenes in actor Justin Theroux's directorial debut possess a certain flair, but the central issue on which the story turns -- how obnoxious and mean-spirited can you be and still get someone to love you? -- presents a forbidding obstacle.

Great script, editing, acting and directing. One of the best of the films of the year.

Love it!! by juli_fan
Edgy and raw, this is definitely one of my favorite movies of the year. Billy Crudup is superb, as usual. Mandy Moore is better than I'm used to seeing her. A tad predictable, but edgy enough that doesn't matter. Go see it!!!

Dedication of a Cast by mDan
This is an amazing cast telling an interesting story, powerfully led by Billy Crudup! Even without the script it is well worth seeing Crudup, Moore, Wilkinson. and Weist play their A game. I would have preferred a stronger ending, but am satisfied with what I got. I will see it again.
