The healthy living philosophies of an ultra-positive gym owner, Trevor, played by Guy Pearce, is tested against his employee Kat's more pragmatic approach, played by Cobie Smulders. It doesn't help that the two have slept together and he harbours lingering feelings for her. Her unresolved anger threatens to ruin the gym's relationship with a wealthy new client, Danny, played by Kevin Corrigan. Matters are further jeopardized when Trevor, trying to smooth the situation, gives way to his own emotions instead. In spite of their best efforts, neither is able to truly move on. The business risk Trevor is in too deep to back away from and the uncertainty of something more with Kat threatens to profoundly impact both their lives.

| Film Comment MagazineAmy TaubinAndrew Bujalski's entrance into the world of professional actors and state-of-the-art digital cameras happily keeps the distinguishing characteristics of America's most idiosyncratic lo-fi auteur intact. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenThe rom-com isn't such a lost cause, after all. It was just waiting for someone like indie filmmaker Andrew Bujalski to resuscitate it. |
| The New YorkerRichard BrodyHe stages the clashes of idiosyncratic characters that give the enterprise its life while observing the infinitesimal details of which that life is made—how to make new friends, how to hook up cable TV—as well as the ethereally intimate connections that result. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe triumph of Results is that it pretends to be loose, lazy and lived-in when it’s actually disciplined, hard-working and in almost perfect shape. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriWith this cast, and such a vivid sense of play, Results manages, in its own subtle, unassuming way, to reinvent the rom-com. It’s enchanting. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsSome may find Results a little light on plot (it is). But with the Smulders character, we're treated to a refreshingly dimensional female lead. Kat isn't one of those aggravating Type A Katherine Heigl cliches. Nor is she a mere attractive doormat. She's prickly, a little lost, but running her own show, and on the road to something better. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenAndrew Bujalski seizes upon physical training as a resonant metaphor for the work and risk that are inherent in cultivating significant interpersonal connections. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA creative comedy about two physical fitness pros and an out-of-shape client who spurs them on to fresh possibilities. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyWhile it has the trappings of a mainstream rom-com, it largely refuses to follow that template. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThe droll way in which it simultaneously subverts and embraces the conventions of the romcom template makes it a genuine find. |
