Even performances, which could have provided spark, are wooden at best, unbelievable at worst. Full Review |

 3/5 |
Pizza will never be the Lou Malnati's deep dish of the independent film world, but its gentle pacing...makes this gem as comforting as mall pizza on a hungry day. Full Review |

1.5/4 |
The characters in this movie don't talk like real people; they all talk like overly clever screenwriters. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
It's Sparks (television's Complete Savages) and Embry (Can't Hardly Wait) who carry this dual coming-of-age tale with engaging, if often raw, performances. Full Review |

A bittersweet, persuasively acted comedy whose tone recalls '80s teen films. Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
Embry and first-time actress Sparks have charming chemistry, but Christopher's slight screenplay wears out its welcome long before the film -- which runs a scant 80 minutes -- is over. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
Among slacker comedies, Pizza is never much more than mildly amusing; it isn't as witty as Slacker or as uproarious as Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, but it's a keeper. Full Review |

At the end of her spontaneous date, she says it's been the best night of her life. It will not be one of yours. Full Review |

|
1.5/5 |
Thin, flavorless and heavily garnished with contrivance, this odd couple comedy serves up little but stale whimsy.

Forget 30-minute delivery -- this brand of indie quirkiness congealed in the late '90s. Full Review |

1.5/4 |
If Pizza were an actual pizza, it would be half-pineapple, half-broccoli. At times, this coming-of-age comedy is quirkily saccharine, at others good-for-you sophistic. Full Review |

|
2.5/5 |
There's a sharp and snappy tone to this irreverent comedy that keeps us laughing even though it's all a bit silly, really. Full Review |

For all its quirky touches, the comedy cleaves to formula in its depiction of how they challenge and change each other. Full Review |
