| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostSuperb comedy, with lots of social commentary |
| San Diego MetropolitanJean LowerisonParducci and Jacobson are terrific together. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWesley MorrisA premise in search of a better-executed movie. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaSympathetic performances by the leads and surprisingly convincing sentimentality. |
| Baseline.Hollywood.comTed MurphyWhat so pleasant about Hit and Runway is the tentative but very real friendship that develops between the two main characters. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottBoth adroitly contrived and naggingly blatant. |
| Filmcritic.comMax MessierThe script is stale, the acting is sub-par and misguided, and the cinematography is on par with a Turkish sitcom. |
| IFilmDave WhiteThe bits are more sitcom quality than the Woody Allen vibe the movie aspires to. |

| User ReviewLee MI was surprised to see Taub from House playing a gay man. Nice to see a film with a gay-straight friendship and it's an effective romantic comedy as well. |
