The Giant Mechanical Man Reviews
Detroit Free Press
Julie Hinds
It's a wistful charmer.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Under a few layers of urban twee is a sly, knowing little romantic comedy full of spiky performances.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Fischer at least has personal and romantic reasons to be involved with this film, but audiences are unencumbered by such obligations, and should heed the title's warning sign and opt out of Kirk, Fischer, and Messina's fruitless little circle of pain.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Replete with eye-roll-inducing contrivances and heavy-handed symbolism - both lovers share dreams of their teeth falling out - this arrested-development comedy panders to the work-averse by taking easy aim at ambitious careerists.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"The Giant Mechanical Man" won't change your life but it might lighten your heart.
DVDTalk.com
Jason Bailey
It's a film that's plagued with problematic writing and irritatingly convenient coincidences, but it has at its center a fundamentally sweet and credible relationship, in which two people find each other and are pleased by what happens next.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
This cute dramedy tackles well-trod ground in the world of indie film but Lee Kirk conveys enough honest affection for his well-crafted characters that the piece works.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
An earnest, good-hearted movie.
Slant Magazine
R. Kurt Osenlund
For a first-time filmmaker, Lee Kirk sure knows how to pick his establishing shots.
Doddle
Kimberly Gadette
A listless slacker comedy about listless thirtysomethings who aimlessly wander, as much in need of a job as in a decent script.
Boxoffice Magazine
Nick Schager
A romantic comedy whose quirkiness is complemented by italicized exposition.
Variety
John Anderson
Grinding its gears a bit in an attempt to achieve maximum quirkiness, "The Giant Mechanical Man" will meet most audiences' standards for "charming."
Village Voice
Ernest Hardy
Fischer ... imbues Janice with a wounded soulfulness that cuts right through the clichs.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A romance whose anodyne find-your-bliss theme is likeable but underwhelming, Lee Kirk's The Giant Mechanical Man doesn't fully exploit its premise's charms.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
Two sad souls who find common ground and... more ambition doing menial labor. That's really all there is.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The only thing creakier than the title character in this low-budget romantic comedy might be the script.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
Jenna Fischer and Chris Messina generate sweet chemistry together as two lonely people who find each other during stressful times in their lives.
Television Without Pity
Ethan Alter
Kirk's wispy screenplay is light on conflict and memorable moments, but the cast elevates the film to a pleasurable diversion.
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
This newest addition to economic hard times romantic comedy cinema, is a small indie gem that like its title, is a bountiful, bittersweet offering of delicately crafted imagination and ideas.
Film Journal International
David Noh
A clumsily titled but winsome romantic comedy that quietly sneaks its way into your affection.
