Never Again is a romantic comedy about falling in love despite your better judgment. An exterminator and jazz pianist in the noble model of Gary Cooper and other '40's screen legends, Christopher is having a sexual identity crisis. He hasn't been able to perform with the young women he's been dating, and is looking for sexual inspiration. Grace, an administrator for Mentors of New York, sends her final child off to college and then realizes that she hasn't tended to her own needs in a very long time. When Christopher meets Grace at a gay bar, her best friends admonish her that it's not a good idea to start a heterosexual relationship with a man you meet in a gay bar. Through human insecurities and foibles, and the refreshing reminder that the Boomer generation is still very much sexually viable, Christopher and Grace defy the odds of it never happening again. In a real, meaningful and adult fashion, they fall in love.

| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordActing, particularly by Tambor, almost makes "Never Again" worthwhile, but [writer/director] Schaeffer should follow his titular advice |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyHowever insulting the script is to the formidable talents of Clayburgh and Tambor, they turn in Shinola performances. |
| BlackFilm.comWilson MoralesSchaeffer has written a clever, plausible, funny, and romantic film. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenThe movie, like its lovers, is really two films smushed together in the faint hope that sheer incongruity can grind out laughter. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarAfter a while, Never Again gets so busy celebrating ageless virility that it forgets to tell a decent story. |
| L.A. WeeklyDan FienbergSchaeffer fails to develop the relationship beyond clichéd signpost events. |
| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaThough the characters are sometimes forced into madcap situations for the sake of adding yuks, the film works best when the protagonists are just being themselves |
| PopcornQBrandon JudellNow all we need is a flick about elderly queers in heat. No, The Dresser doesn't count. |
| ComingSoon.netAndy WeilTotally uninspired and follows the same formula as the hundreds of films it mimics. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA very funny romantic comedy about two skittish New York middle-agers who stumble into a relationship and then struggle furiously with their fears and foibles. |
