Schaeffer has written a clever, plausible, funny, and romantic film.
05/13/03
The character is too forced and overwritten to be funny or believable much of the time, and Clayburgh doesn't always improve the over-the-top mix.

Never Again doesn't quite rise above the conventions it attempts to deconstruct, but at its center are two gifted actors who are more than willing to take chances.
07/12/02
Here's a case of two actors who do everything humanly possible to create characters who are sweet and believable, and are defeated by a screenplay that forces them into bizarre, implausible behavior.

Top CriticI doubt if the solution to the movie industry's ludicrous ageism is showing 50-year-olds acting like randy 20-year-olds.

The 50-something lovebirds are too immature and unappealing to care about.
06/25/02
It's a pleasure to see [Clayburgh] back in full force, having aged beautifully, and in a role that serves as such a neat bookend to An Unmarried Woman.

Schaefer's...determination to inject farcical raunch...drowns out the promise of the romantic angle.

After a while, Never Again gets so busy celebrating ageless virility that it forgets to tell a decent story.

Clayburgh and Tambor are charming performers; neither of them deserves Eric Schaeffer.
07/26/02
Top CriticTambor and Clayburgh are actually both very likeable in their roles, but the script is just miserable.
08/03/02
Schaeffer has crafted a winsomely appealing love story for -- surprise! -- the over-50 set.
