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." As it is, the script is predictable, the story becomes tedious, and it's simply not funny. Heather Graham shows she can play a central character, but she's not enough to make Committed successful.

Small, sluggish tale.

Overall, Committed is a disappointment.

Top CriticIn Committed [Graham] finally gets the chance to carry a movie, and she does so admirably.

Top CriticOne can only imagine how different the film might have been with, say, Parker Posey or Catherine Keener.

With its capacity to surprise, the film comes to life when you don't expect it to.

Top CriticIn the end the film feels like a missed opportunity to examine something real.

It mistakes the accumulation of odd moments for character development -- and for the most part these characters remain fairly inscrutable.

Like Joline, Committed is pretty to look at but ultimately too irritating to spend 90 minutes with.

Families who see the movie should discuss the challenge of maintaining a balance between supporting the person you love and enabling destructive or self-destructive behavior.

Actually, Committed only teases with subtext, since it's not much of a commentary on anything.
