Song of Back and Neck is worth a watch—even if you’ll scratch your head more often than you’ll laugh. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

The romantic comedy elements here are just offbeat enough to appeal. But with every encounter with the needles, the music and the Song of Back and Neck, the pitch rises and the laughs — awkward and endlessly surprising — turn to cackles and then guffaws. Read full review

Peter Debruge

Because Lieberstein is an inherently likable actor, we identify with his plight, even if it takes a while to realize that he’s essentially brought this situation upon himself. Read full review

Only the comic parts soar, and they fit uneasily with the pallid romance and half-hearted family drama. Read full review

A barely watchable, pointless, dull attempt at a quasi art film. Paul Lieberstein should seriously stay away from romantic comedies.
