| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt doesn't take long for Bill to suddenly veer off course into total impenetrability, where the characters become a blur, the hacky visual poetry is rolled out, and the plot drops dead. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittClunky and smug, Meet Bill isn't convincing for one moment. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...basically entertaining yet entirely forgettable. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Annie Wagner[Meet Bill] is artless and abrupt, and once you lay eyes on it, you feel totally cheated. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperThis movie never should have seen the light of day. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Clunky and smug, Meet Bill isn't convincing for one moment. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy KleinNot awful or offensive, but pretty weak broth nonetheless. |
| User ReviewSean RThis was a great movie! However, I think that The Kid (Logan Lerman) was the most worth watching in the movie, and this time it's not just because of Logan. The Kid himself is a really funny character. "Do you ever go and look at the cash?" The overall plot bored me, but Logan's scenes made up for it easily. |
| User ReviewAdam UFeel-good movie with some cheesy acting, but a nice change of pace. |
| User ReviewBobby L. Pthis movie was really funny! haha you should definitly watch it... =D |
