Rolling StonePeter Travers
It's a one-joke premise that ultimately wears thin, but Krueger works some playful variations on a theme.

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
But one can only imagine how different the film might have been with, say, Parker Posey or Catherine Keener -- truly funky actresses with some real edge -- in the lead. Read full review

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
This romantic comedy turns stereotypes inside out as the main character, whose sense of commitment is represented by a tattoo on her finger instead of a wedding ring. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyHazel-Dawn Dumpert
The best thing about Committed, though, is Krueger, a filmmaker who's not only willing to lead us into the well-traveled terrain of romantic comedy, but able to show us something new there. Read full review

Portland OregonianShawn Levy
You need to accept the fact that practically everyone in the picture, particularly the leading lady, is a boneheaded nitwit.

Austin ChronicleMarjorie Baumgarten
Graham maintains a casual charm throughout it all, but she lacks the kind of emotional depth that might have pulled this hodge-podge together. Read full review

Film.comRobert Horton
Until it backs itself into a narrative corner, Lisa Krueger's Committed is a delightfully unpredictable experience. Read full review

The New York TimesDana Stevens
Comedy, like marriage, takes more work than this. Read full review
