Average Rating:5.4/10

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.

Runtime: 1 hr 38 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Ever since Joline (HEATHER GRAHAM) married Carl (LUKE WILSON), she's madly in love, emotionally bonded and totally committed... even though Carl walked out on her two weeks ago. Convinced she... Ever since Joline (HEATHER GRAHAM) married Carl (LUKE WILSON), she's madly in love, emotionally bonded and totally committed... even though Carl walked out on her two weeks ago.

Convinced she can save her marriage, she drives two thousand miles west on a comic adventure to track down her wayward husband. Along the way, she has close calls with a pair of highway robbers, a Mexican witchdoctor and more than one cactus.

But the real odyssey begins when Joline winds up in El Paso, Texas, finds Carl and stakes out his new life...from her car. With a little help from her brother Jay (CASEY AFFLECK) his new girlfriend Carmen (PATRICIA VELASQUEZ) and Neil (GORAN VISNJIC), her tantalizing "neighbor," she discovers the ups and downs of being the most committed woman in America.

  • Committed
  • Sexy Heather Graham (AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME, BOWFINGER) leads a hilarious cast in an outrageously high-spirited comedy about the crazy things people will do for love! When Joline (Graham) discovers that her husband has abruptly left her in an effort to "find himself," she drops everything and drives out of New York City in search of her stray spouse! Then, after finally tracking him down in the west Texas desert, Joline demonstrates that she'll do anything to win him back! Also featuring Casey Affleck (DROWNING MONA, GOOD WILL HUNTING), Goran Visnijc (TV's ER), and Luke Wilson (MY DOG SKIP) -- all roads lead to love, laughter, and loyalty in this critically acclaimed comedy treat!

    Combines what seems like every indie cliché into a single motion picture.

    So enamored to have Graham's participation it forgets that it might actually be about something worthwhile.
