Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinMay 9, 2013
With the nimble Greenwood and a kinder, gentler-than-usual Posey in charge, "And Now" proves a thoroughly engaging lark. Read full review

New York PostLou LumenickMay 9, 2013
While Greenwood and Posey turn on enough charm to make this a fairly painless experience, Zack Bernbaum’s And Now a Word From Our Sponsor is a mild, toothless satire — a “Being There’’ where there’s barely any there there. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenMay 9, 2013

The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloMay 8, 2013
Had this moronic part been given to almost anybody else — including folks as talented as, say, Robin Williams or Jim Carrey — the result would very likely have been an unmitigated disaster.

New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierMay 10, 2013
This would-be satire earns an E for Effort for wanting to be to the advertising world what “Being There” was to television. Read full review

Slant MagazineTomas HachardMay 5, 2013
It's a testament to Bruce Greenwood's acting that Adan never becomes entirely as insufferable as the words that come out of his mouth. Read full review

Village VoiceDavid KlipenMay 8, 2013
The dialogue is unspeakable, the scenes unplayable, the waste of talent unpardonable. Read full review
