Leave your thoughts about Pipe Dream.
| NewsdayJohn AndersonWhat bubbles up out of John C. Walsh's Pipe Dream is the distinct and very welcome sense of watching intelligent people making a movie they might actually want to watch. |
| Journal News (Westchester, NY)Marshall FineThat rara avis: the intelligent romantic comedy with actual ideas on its mind. |
| Movie GurusJames O'EhleySomewhere towards the last third of this movie I found myself often glancing at my watch. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzManages to plug all leaks and tell an implausible story that still made some sense. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe film satirizes, and celebrates, an idea pivotal to both Hollywood and love: that in a world of impostors, the pretender with the most conviction can become exactly what he pretends to be. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldDonovan makes us totally believe the character and his predicament, co-star Mary-Louise Parker is especially witty and winning as the film's screenwriter. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranSmart, sweet and playful romantic comedy. |
| VarietyRonnie SchiebPic, which may be too cutesy for some tastes, is lacking in substance in some areas but it has a wonderfully nuanced, constantly surprising perf by Mary-Louise Parker, who elevates the intermittently charming insider spoof. |
| L.A. WeeklyHazel-Dawn DumpertPipe Dream does have its charms. The leads are natural and lovely, the pace is serene, the humor wry and sprightly. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxNeither Parker nor Donovan is a typical romantic lead, but they bring a fresh, quirky charm to the formula. Nor are their characters typical meet-cute types: David and Toni are imperfect people who are some how perfect for each other. |
