But Bill's fate begins to change when he becomes a mentor to a self-assured boy who engineers Bill's recovery with the help of a cute lingerie salesgirl named Lucy (Jessica Alba). Together, the trio confronts Bill's hapless life with humor and energy while forcing him to capture his dream of being financially independent and self-confident.

Critic Reviews

Josh Rosenblatt

Meet Bill is a typical storyline given new life by an overabundance of antic energy. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

After a promising start, this quirky comedy falls flat despite Eckhart's best efforts. Read full review

Bill White

For those whose idea of hilarity is an adult and a kid throwing fireworks at each other, then getting stoned and playing piggyback in the mall, this movie should be a refreshing tonic. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Harnessing mostly fine actors to a wholly asinine script, the directors, Melisa Wallack and Bernie Goldmann, have created a movie as spineless and dithering as its benighted namesake. Read full review

Loren Lankford

Even a hilarious turn by Kristen Wiig as the owner of a doughnut company can't save this clichéd, meandering story from playing like "American Beauty" lite. Read full review

Mark Olsen

It isn't any good. Read full review

Julia Wallace

Is Meet Bill the worst movie ever? Probably not, but it's certainly incoherent enough to give "Gigli" a run for its money. Read full review

I loved and I love him as an actor. It just seemed so real.
