Review For Paper Man
Aided by subtly wounded performances by Daniels and Stone, and a surprisingly affecting comic turn from Reynolds, Paper Man makes up for many of its shortcomings with an abundance of heart. Ian Buckwalter-NPR The manipulations characters act out with each other are realistic, even if the overlong and not-nearly-twee-enough comedy built around them isn't, making for a movie whose script may have had more merit than its execution. Or not. Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel A big Twinkie stuffed with indie-film cliches and glazed with chiming emo guitars. Cliff Doerksen-Chicago Reader What we have in this film is a whole lot of nothing, and the little that's there is irritating. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle We don't even get a real sense of what kind of writer Richard is, or even if he's any good. It does make a difference, after all, if the novel he can't write is worth writing. A bigger question: Was "Paper Man" worth making? Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Ignore the story of Paper Heart ... Concentrate instead on the delightful performances. Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly A flimsy character study...as ephemeral and forgettable as a sheet of paper carried off by a gust of wind. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion We're subjected to so much arbitrary quirkiness that the characters' big breakthroughs and breakdowns ring false, accidentally making for some of the film's biggest laughs. William Goss-Cinematical It's tough to watch such a glum progression through the familiar, with bits of quirk dissected and bandied about. Robert Levin-Film School Rejects Jeff Daniels' issues are self-indulgent. But to him, his writer's block and insubstantial life are epic, and the film sides with him more often than not. Amy Nicholson-I.E. Weekly Too introverted and gimmicky for its own good. Pete Hammond-Boxoffice Magazine Are we supposed to look upon a guy who comes on to young girls and plies kids with alcohol as some sort of blithe free spirit? Kurt Loder-MTV Emma Stone gives a tour de force over fine performances by Daniels, Kudrow, and Reynolds. Tony Medley-tonymedley.com Love, Long Island style! Kam Williams-Sly Fox
