One of those genially paced, character-driven indies, and succeeds as such very well.

Reviews for Fast Food, Fast Women
Despite a script that occasionally calls for some embarrassingly awkward lines, Kollek's cast generally acquits itself well.
06/19/01
Top CriticFor all the off-key notes sounded by this story of an overworked New York waitress, a trio of her customers and a loutish cabbie, it never falls apart.
06/15/01
Dreary and dull.
06/15/01
An overly familiar, poorly cast and often annoyingly crude New York comedy that never finds its groove.
06/14/01
There's nothing wrong with Fast Food Fast Women that a casting director and a rewrite couldn't have fixed.
06/08/01
Top CriticThe filmmaker's enthusiasm for addressing diverse people's needs for both companionship and sexual gratification is admirable, but movies aren't just about notions.
06/07/01
Top CriticAs light and lofty and as full of charm as the proverbial lead balloon.
06/01/01
Kollek is a fringe auteur who makes independent films the old fashioned way: no budget, static camera, a script that telegraphs its tiny, paste gem ironies.
06/01/01
Top CriticKollek’s screenplay and a concise, adventurous cast amply demonstrate the film’s reason for being by playing up the quirky oddness of the film‘s many frivolous details.
05/23/01
It sucks when talented character actors wind up in movies that waste their energy.
05/21/01
Thomson continues to amaze with her naked authenticity.
05/21/01
Kollek's droll humor relieves most of the cloyingly familiar aspects of this wish-fulfillment phantasmagoria.
05/21/01
Top CriticThomson and Harris' relationship is underdeveloped, with screen time gobbled up by pointless plot points and stock characters.
05/18/01
Almost creates a sense of dread as you sit watching its raft of aimless, self-absorbed neurotics clang into one another.
05/18/01
Top Critic[a] pointless, meandering tale of eccentric New Yorkers navigating the treacherous waters of love and survival
05/18/01
A comedy that satisfies with its magic moments of love, grace, and synchronicity.
05/17/01
It's too soon by to know where Kollek will fit in, but he has a knack for sharp dialogue and comedy.
05/17/01
There's much pleasure to be had in watching these gifted and highly individual actors groaning over their fate as they tentatively set about love's first fumblings.
05/16/01
A delightfully irreverent romantic comedy.
