Synopsis: Joe and Lucy are best friends and roommates in a small Manhattan apartment...and she's about to turn 30. So Lucy won't stop reminding Joe of their pact to jump off a bridge if they haven't found... Joe and Lucy are best friends and roommates in a small Manhattan apartment...and she's about to turn 30. So Lucy won't stop reminding Joe of their pact to jump off a bridge if they haven't found true love by the time she hits the big three-oh. Joe reluctantly agrees to honor the agreement. But first Joe tries to head off disaster by helping their romantic lives take off. He begins by anonymously inviting his beautiful neighbor (whom he's been ogling for years) to his first gallery opening. Then he makes sure this big event also offers possibilities for Lucy--who wins the interest of celebrated conceptual artist Bwick Elias. Will Joe and Lucy find love in the world of art? Or will the two roommates discover that when it comes to romance, there really is no place like home? [More]

These writer-director-actors seem to want to make movies just so they can be cuddly in them.

I just don't find this to be an appealling or believable film.

Romantic comedy about loving the one in your heart instead of the one in your fantasies.

Eric Schaeffer is never more arrogant than with this one!

Schaeffer is the one who fells Lucy by casting himself in the male lead, then failing to convince anyone that either female lead could be attracted to his character.

If Lucy Fell has all the attributes of romantic comedy, including absolute predictability. The only surprise is that it also provides a mostly-enjoyable journey to its ultimate destination.

The quality of American comedy writing really seems to be on the rise.

If Lucy Fell should be a chore, and yet I kept catching myself having a good time.

A disappointingly superficial romantic comedy. There's no chemistry between any of the characters. The acting is mediocre, with Schaeffer and Parker exhibiting no screen presence.

All coy grins and daffy mugging, Mr. Stiller plays the role as if aspiring to become the Elliott Gould of his generation. Compared with jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, that's a reasonable goal.
