Meet Bill Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Loren Lankford
Even a hilarious turn by Kristen Wiig as the owner of a doughnut company can't save this clichéd, meandering story from playing like American Beauty lite.
DVDTalk.com
David Cornelius
Not even a solid performance can keep the script's problems at bay.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Male midlife crisis presents as pathological self-loathing in Meet Bill, an imperative to which the only sane response is: No thanks.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
The story of a man (Aaron Eckhart) grappling with middle-age ennui at work and at home feels done to death, as does the distracting addition of a spunky rich-kid high schooler.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...basically entertaining yet entirely forgettable.
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
It doesn't take long for Bill to suddenly veer off course into total impenetrability, where the characters become a blur, the hacky visual poetry is rolled out, and the plot drops dead.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Bill White
For those whose idea of hilarity is an adult and a kid throwing fireworks at each other, then getting stoned and playing piggyback in the mall, this movie should be a refreshing tonic.
Sin Magazine
Austin Kennedy
As the movie goes on, you actually end up rooting for this schmuck to take charge of his life, and in a way, the movie is sort of inspiring.
Boxoffice Magazine
Shlomo Schwartzberg
Takes scattershot aim at all manner of appropriate targets-the vapid nature of local television news, the perceived stigma of standing out from the pack in America, the dilemma of dreams deferred and abandoned-but rarely hits the comic bull's-eye.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
Clunky and smug, Meet Bill isn't convincing for one moment.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
This movie never should have seen the light of day.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
When all is said and done, Bill is let down by Bill.
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
Husband-and-wife helmers Melisa Wallack and Bernie Goldmann make all the wrong choices, from the grimacing they've encouraged their large (and largely wasted) cast to indulge in, to the musical riffs that signal each and every dramatic beat.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Annie Wagner
[Meet Bill] is artless and abrupt, and once you lay eyes on it, you feel totally cheated.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
Not awful or offensive, but pretty weak broth nonetheless.
L.A. Weekly
Julia Wallace
It tries hard to mimic the arch tone of the best suburban tragicomedies (American Beauty, et al.), but a surfeit of stock characters, double-wide plot holes and heavy-handed symbolism ruins the effect.
