"A very funny romantic comedy about two skittish New York middle-agers who stumble into a relationship and then struggle furiously with their fears and foibles." -- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, SPIRITUALITY AND HEALTH   "...the good and different idea [of middle-aged romance] is not handled well and, except for the fine star performances, there is little else to recommend “Never Again.”" -- Robin Clifford, REELING REVIEWS   "Sex and romance after 50? Here's proof that it not only exists, a movie about it can be funny and cute." -- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM   "Tambor and Clayburgh make an appealing couple — he’s understated and sardonic, she’s appealingly manic and energetic. Both deserve better." -- Dan Fienberg, L.A. WEEKLY   "I never thought I'd say this, but I'd much rather watch teens poking their genitals into fruit pies!" -- Blake French, FILMCRITIC.COM   "Please, someone, stop Eric Schaeffer before he makes another film." -- Pam Grady, REEL.COM   "The 50-something lovebirds are too immature and unappealing to care about." -- Harvey S. Karten, COMPUSERVE   "Never Again, while nothing special, is pleasant, diverting and modest -- definitely a step in the right direction." -- Andy Klein, NEW TIMES   "There's something deeply creepy about Never Again, a new arrow in Schaeffer's quiver of ineptitudes." -- Shawn Levy, OREGONIAN   "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." -- Sheri Linden, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE

Hot Pick   "A bad movie that happened to good actors." -- Carrie Rickey, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Cream of the Crop ROTTEN 16% Avg. Rating: 3.7/10   "Schaeffer has to find some hook on which to hang his persistently useless movies, and it might as well be the resuscitation of the middle-aged character." -- John Anderson, NEWSDAY   "Rarely does a film so graceless and devoid of merit as this one come along." -- Ray Conlogue, GLOBE AND MAIL   "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." -- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES   "Clayburgh and Tambor are charming performers; neither of them deserves Eric Schaeffer." -- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY   "Just offbeat enough to keep you interested without coming close to bowling you over." -- Eric Harrison, HOUSTON CHRONICLE   "As conceived by Mr. Schaeffer, Christopher and Grace are little more than collections of quirky traits lifted from a screenwriter's outline and thrown at actors charged with the impossible task of making them jell." -- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES   "Excruciatingly unfunny and pitifully unromantic." -- Stephen Hunter, WASHINGTON POST   "Never Again swings between false sentiment and unfunny madcap comedy and, along the way, expects the audience to invest in the central relationship as some kind of marriage of true minds." -- Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE   "Full of the kind of obnoxious chitchat that only self-aware neurotics engage in." -- Michael O'Sullivan, WASHINGTON POST   "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." -- Janice Page, BOSTON GLOBE ( More... )

  "With a tone as variable as the cinematography, Schaeffer's film never settles into the light-footed enchantment the material needs, and the characters' quirks and foibles never jell into charm."
-- Frank Lovece, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
