Top CriticLesnick's sharp eye for humor manages to keep things from getting too preachy.
06/20/03
An uneven appeal.
06/20/03
Without the ready-made drama of coming out and identity struggle, gay romance can feel as flimsy and forced as its straight counterpart.
05/29/03
Top CriticSuffers from inexperienced filmmaking and a self-absorbed lead character who fails to elicit any truly tangible degree of audience sympathy.
05/18/03
Top CriticFrequently talky and overacted.
05/09/03
Top CriticA serious romantic comedy of such strength and substance and so entertaining that it doesn't matter that its minuscule budget shows around the edges.
05/08/03
Top CriticThe pacing never accelerates beyond sluggish, and Lesnick's script is an awkward pile of gag lines.
05/08/03
We get on board because of [Lesnick's] crazy, singular personality, and we're expected to stay in our seats when she grows conventional and boring.
02/27/03
A good old-fashioned love story.
02/24/03
Top CriticAffair is chock-full of moments where Lesnick breaks the fourth wall and pretty much does a standup routine right into the camera. It's funny once in a while, but gets extremely grating.
10/04/02
Lesnick, who over exaggerates her every facial gesture like a stand-up comic, would have benefited from having a director other than herself.
