"The smug, oily demeanor that Donovan adopts throughout the stupidly named Pipe Dream is just repulsive."
-- Megan Turner, NEW YORK POST
"A smart, sweet and playful romantic comedy."
-- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"The quirky and recessive charms of co-stars Martin Donovan and Mary-Louise Parker help overcome the problematic script."
-- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"This mild-mannered farce, directed by one of its writers, John C. Walsh, is corny in a way that bespeaks an expiration date passed a long time ago."
-- Elvis Mitchell, NEW YORK TIMES
"One of the funniest films I've seen this year."
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"A witty, low-key romantic comedy."
-- Justine Elias, VILLAGE VOICE
"What bubbles up out of John C. Walsh's Pipe Dream is the distinct and very welcome sense of watching intelligent people making a movie they might actually want to watch."
-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY
