Leave your thoughts about Song of Back and Neck.
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanFred Trolleycar may be as soft-spoken as Toby Flenderson but Lieberstein tackles these characters in different ways. |
| New York ObserverBrandon KatzSong of Back and Neck is a ridiculous (in a good way), oddly moving portrait of being stuck in a 25-year rut. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergWhat Lieberstein has made is a self-help manual disguised as a comedy. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe romantic comedy elements here are just offbeat enough to appeal. But with every encounter with the needles, the music and the Song of Back and Neck, the pitch rises and the laughs — awkward and endlessly surprising — turn to cackles and then guffaws. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeBecause Lieberstein is an inherently likable actor, we identify with his plight, even if it takes a while to realize that he’s essentially brought this situation upon himself. |
| SlashfilmMarshall ShafferDo we really need another sad middle-age white guy comedy? Probably not, but if we have to have them, at least let them be more like Paul Lieberstein's Song of Back and Neck. |
| Film PulseAdam PattersonA slight romantic comedy, containing a solid number of laughs, mostly of the awkward variety, and a decent amount of heart packed into an ultimately forgettable narrative. |
| The PlaylistLena WilsonSong of Back and Neck is worth a watch—even if you’ll scratch your head more often than you’ll laugh. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe story...never comes together as a satisfying whole, even if it all proves relatively painless viewing. |
| The Hollywood ReporterCaryn JamesOnly the comic parts soar, and they fit uneasily with the pallid romance and half-hearted family drama. |
