Roger's totally sleazy, yet still manages to come off smart, funny and likeable, so does the movie.

Reviews for Roger Dodger
It is less about treating others badly than about what happens to us when we do, a bleary-eyed look in the mirror behind the bar when they announce last call.

The date movie that Franz Kafka would have made.

Razor sharp and remarkable, one of the year's best films!

Even at its grimmest, the movie hums along, thanks to the edgy, hand-held, on-the-fly cinematography and the snappy performances.

An exciting debut from promising, and fairly disturbed, young director/screenwriter Dylan Kidd.

Top CriticThe terrific and bewilderingly underrated Campbell Scott gives a star performance that is nothing short of mesmerizing.

Top CriticThe perfect cross between Swingers and In the Company of Men that we didn’t know we needed until we had it.

A heady, biting, be-bop ride through nighttime Manhattan, a loquacious videologue of the modern male and the lengths to which he’ll go to weave a protective cocoon around his own ego.

Nice piece of work.

Top CriticI was aglow for some time with the levels and layers and brilliant character moments that stuff this film. This is why I review movies. Go see it.

Roger Dodger features a protagonist who's so abrasive, it's a wonder that he doesn't send viewers charging for the exits. Fortunately, Campbell Scott (The Spanish Prisoner), and novice writer-director Dylan Kidd imbue the arrogant, predator

Campbell Scott's amusing and contemptuous performance is the stuff of awards.
