Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
Aniston and Zahn are sweet together - their respective characters have built up psychic armor to keep the outside world at bay, and each breaks down the other's in revealing ways.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
Management works as a sweet rom-com with some fairly big laughs.Read Full Review »

Slate: Dana Stevens
Management remains for the most part as endearing as its leads. Steve Zahn is a wonderful actor who's spent too long in the "hey, it's that guy" best-friend role.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Michael O'Sullivan
Zahn is the single biggest reason why Management is a delightfully screwball romantic comedy and not a crazed-stalker film. And why it works. Like watching a puppy chase its own tail, it's a pleasure watching Mike try to win Sue over.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
It's a sweetly strange yet uneven comedy, with a charming lead performance by Steve Zahn offset by a lackluster one from Jennifer Aniston.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Stephen Holden
Mike may be a bumbling sad sack, but Mr. Zahn gives him just enough spunky appeal to lend this unlikely fly-by-afternoon coupling and its consequences a shred of credibility.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
A standard-order romantic comedy with many of the expected twists and complications. It suffers from the flaw of not giving the lead characters enough time together.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
Management is ultimately undone by its own bland idiosyncrasies. It's nothing but a mismanaged opportunity.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Betsy Sharkey
Though it doesn't always work, it's an idea with its heart in the right place and, paired with nonshock comedy, it's a nice change of pace.Read Full Review »

ROLLING STONE: Peter Travers
Playwright Stephen Belber (Match), in his directing debut, comes close to the sweet spot. He's not there yet. But he'll be worth watching next time.Read Full Review »
