Leave your thoughts about The Closet.
| San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamNeither a "gay" movie nor a straight one; it is simply a funny one. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowThe movie's steady good humor and respect for character is pleasing - even energizing. |
| NUVO NewsweeklyEdward Johnson-OttThe film offers no grand statements, just a clever idea and exceptional cast. |
| SPLICEDWireRob BlackwelderSee The Closet now before somebody ruins an American version by casting Robin Williams and scrubbing clean all its wanton wackiness. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonWins you over with its devastating simplicity. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyThe French originals are always much breezier, the characters more genuine and the actors subtler even if the situations are just as silly. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickBased on a single joke, making it no different from any of the recent Saturday Night Live movie bombs. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternA farce nearly as cracked as his previous "The Dinner Game." |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThis is economy of style that Americans get only in Woody Allen movies -- and even that's not a guarantee. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanIt's a bright and breezy piece, and a refreshing alternative to the gross-out Hollywood comedies. |
