Dull, contrived, obvious, and at 96 minutes, seemingly endless.

Reviews for Gray Matters
Sue Kramer is clearly out to shake up the boring old boy-meets-girl formula, but her movie is so filled with preposterous coincidence and ridiculous clunky plot machinations that it's impossible to ignore them and focus on the equally contrived story.
02/23/07
The movie’s light, airy tone comes to a screeching halt in certain scenes that are excessively sentimental, melodramatic and preachy.
02/25/07
Heather Graham's nonstop perky chattering is more annoying than cute in [this] uneven, unrealistic romantic comedy about a rather bizarre love triangle.
02/25/07
Nearly every scene of this movie rings hollow, mainly because we can never really believe that what we're seeing up on the screen could truly happen.
03/09/07
While the light and whimsical comic timing of the leads carry the film far, even they cannot blind us to Gray Matters' many shortcomings.
02/28/08
This movie falls into the gray area between good and just okay.
03/09/07
Gray's matters are pretty mundane, to tell you the truth
05/14/07
Sitcommy, forced and forgettable.
02/21/07
Top CriticGray Matters feels dated: Gray's self-identity confusion is less "adorable" than annoying, and both she and Charlie appear exceptionally clueless about what's going on.
03/17/07
...an amiable misfire.
07/20/07
Gray's identity issues -- presumably the movie's main focus -- share time with too many subsidiary scenes that seem (rightly or wrongly) to have been written for as many actor-friends of the filmmakers as possible.
03/08/07
Top CriticGray Matters is as unhinged as its characters.
02/13/07
Never have I ever wanted to climb into the screen and kill every single character as much as I did with this movie.
02/22/07
A frantically overwrought [Heather] Graham does herself no favors here. She has talent, but as long as she keeps stumbling through clumsy comedies like this one, it hardly matters.
02/23/07
This is a chick flick, one of the chickiest chick flicks of the decade so far.
03/03/07
In cheerfully embracing the sitcom's limitations, Kramer resigns her film to a sort of amiable mediocrity.
03/01/07
So utterly synthetic that though set in New York, it might as well be happening on another planet...despite the title, Gray doesn't matter at all.
03/08/07
Unacceptable.
02/23/07
Superficial comedy about the coming-out of a young woman.
