Consensus: Critics say Committed is one of those films that shows promise -- some sort of vision -- of what the movie could have been. The key word is "could."

Krueger deserves credit for pulling off what amounts to a madcap date movie.

Top CriticAlthough the story contains more style than substance, Krueger's follow-up to Manny and Lo still has plenty to offer.

Top CriticAll in all, Committed lacks the courage of its convictions.

Top CriticA fun supporting cast.

Although it never quite overcomes a severe case of the cutes, Committed boasts enough grace notes to earn a mild recommendation.

Small, sluggish tale.
