AUDIENCE SCORE

Rating: 2/4 -- Offers is the opportunity for a bunch of actors, many of them tethered to TV series, to deliver theatrical monologues pulsing with misogyny and narcissism. It's like second-rate Neil Labute. Full Review

John Krasinski takes a distinct, deliberate step away from romantic comedies for a darkly comic look at human interaction. Full Review
Moving Pictures Magazine
Mar 25, 2010
In his debut as screenwriter and director, John Krasinski shows promise. Adapting the writings of David Foster Wallace, he moves the piece sharply along and finds interesting theatrical presentations for talky, intellectual material.

Rating: 4/10 -- Faced with the unenviable choice between honoring his daunting inspiration and telling his own story, the director shoots straight down the middle -- and misses both targets. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Actor John Krasinski deserves credit for having the ambition to adapt material as difficult as David Foster Wallace's short stories. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/4 -- ...far more successful as an actor's showcase than as a fully-realized movie... Full Review
