    Rudd's boyish charm is so pervasive he almost makes you believe there's affection for Marty beneath Dr. Ike's smarm, while we yearn for Marty to wake up and reclaim the shaggy humanity at the core of Ferrell's wonderful performance. [22 Nov - 5 Dec 2021, p.9]

    It's a methodically paced, odd but mesmerizing piece set to an infectious soundtrack highlighted by its strategic use of '80s soft rock hits. Besides, the cast hoists the show over and through its slack spots.

    “The Shrink Next Door” is tonally confused and often misjudged, putting Rudd and Ferrell in an untenable position where they are tasked with being simultaneously earnest while also winking at the audience, which has a way of putting their performances in air quotes. Actually, everything here feels set off by air quotes.
