Leave your thoughts about Puccini for Beginners.
| San Diego MetropolitanJean LowerisonWhen a script that considers itself smart, sassy and even intellectual comes across as juvenile and dopey, what went wrong? |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenIt all looks easy when it's carried off this smoothly. But as any number of stilted duds can attest, applying a Philip Barry or Woody Allen sensibility to 21st-century New Yorkers in their 30s is as delicate a craft as diamond cutting. |
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsDon't expect anything life-transforming, but simply a gender-bending, screwball sitcom for the more cerebral demographic. |
| JWRS. James WeggBut when all is said and done, Maggenti’s film transcends mere lesbian angst and offers some food for thought to lovers everywhere as they dance, sing or fornicate around the scary subject of commitment. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansBeware the indie screwball comedy that uses opera as a metaphor and lives in that dreamspace between Greenwich Village bookstores and the characters' belly buttons. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustBisexuality certainly increases the geometric possibilities of the romantic comedy, completing its triangles and allowing for quadrangles and other, more amorphous layers of amorous involvement. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldHas a likable smartness to it; like a good Woody Allen film with a gay twist. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonBut when mechanical plots are a drama's main engine, we look for something else to divert us, preferably good comedy. That's in short supply, unfortunately. And it's no fun to sit through the movie's retread Woody Allenisms. |
| Chicago ReaderAndrea GronvallFresh Manhattan locations prove as photogenic as the leads, and the supporting actors--especially Tina Benko as a glacial, impeccably dressed amazon--don't miss a beat of Maggenti's snappy dialogue. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovIn the end, it's all la dolce vita no matter how you look at it. |
