Leave your thoughts about And Now a Word from Our Sponsor.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinWith the nimble Greenwood and a kinder, gentler-than-usual Posey in charge, "And Now" proves a thoroughly engaging lark. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanAnd Now a Word From Our Sponsor may not be good to the last drop, but parts of it are finger lickin' good. |
| New York PostLou LumenickWhile Greenwood and Posey turn on enough charm to make this a fairly painless experience, Zack Bernbaum’s And Now a Word From Our Sponsor is a mild, toothless satire — a “Being There’’ where there’s barely any there there. |
| The PlaylistGabe ToroThe project seems compromised by a meager budget and limited scale. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenTo describe And Now a Word From Our Sponsor as a one-joke skit stretched well beyond the breaking point isn’t entirely fair, because when used ingeniously, which is very seldom, the joke lands. |
| The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloHad this moronic part been given to almost anybody else — including folks as talented as, say, Robin Williams or Jim Carrey — the result would very likely have been an unmitigated disaster. Greenwood, however, commits to it wholeheartedly, much the way that Naomi Watts’ struggling actress character treated her hackneyed soap-opera dialogue in Mulholland Drive. |
| Time OutSam AdamsAt least this tepid satire can coast on the charms of its cast. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugePlop plop. Fizz fizz. Oh, what a missed opportunity it is! In the well-cast but seldom funny satire And Now a Word From Our Sponsor. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierThis would-be satire earns an E for Effort for wanting to be to the advertising world what “Being There” was to television. |
| Slant MagazineTomas HachardIt's a testament to Bruce Greenwood's acting that Adan never becomes entirely as insufferable as the words that come out of his mouth. |
