Critic Reviews of "A Little Help"
Washington PostAugust 05, 2011The next chapter in Laura's story might be something worth rooting for, but here's hoping she has a different writer penning her lines.
Detroit NewsJuly 29, 2011A Little Help doesn't dazzle, and you can pick at its parts, but Fischer's performance gives the movie a sense of romantic weariness that lingers. Life is a series of disasters to be weathered, no matter how cute you are.
Minneapolis Star TribuneJuly 28, 2011The film suffers from an uncertain tone, playing serious situations for laughs while supplying Laura with a drinking habit and a hair-trigger temper that come across as problems rather than endearing foibles.
Philadelphia InquirerJuly 28, 2011This is one of the smarter, more honest scripts to be filmed in quite some time. And Jenna Fischer gives one of the smarter, more honest - and vulnerable, and tough - performances by an actress on the big screen in an even longer stretch.
Boston GlobeJuly 28, 2011It's not that Jenna Fischer is miscast in "A Little Help.'' It's that she's mis-everything else: misused, misdirected, misanthropic.
Chicago TribuneJuly 28, 2011"A Little Help" settles for familiar and modest payoffs. It's not much. Yet Fischer clearly relishes the chance to play someone who's a demurely reckless mess.
Tribune News ServiceJanuary 14, 2013An odd duck of a period piece dramedy, a wonderfully detailed character-study set on Long Island a year after the 9/11 attacks."
Common Sense MediaOctober 29, 2011Though the movie can't possibly wrap up all its dramatic threads in any realistic manner, the way it abruptly leaves off is just as dissatisfying.
Your Movies (cleveland.com)August 09, 2011O'Donnell's character isn't the only relative that we and Fischer's Laura come to resent (although she at least finds opportunities to sneak away for cigarette and beer breaks).
Cleveland Plain DealerAugust 05, 2011Jenna Fischer shows off her dramatic chops but her downer film is a bit aimless.
