Citizen Duane has a heart, and it ultimately avoids wrapping itself up into a nice, neat little package.

Film Freak Central

An underdog comedy that's neither funny nor poignant nor ingratiating

Citizen Duane tells a story and that's all it does. There's no empathy for the lead character and there's no oomph to engage either. Still Donal Logue is always pleasing on the eye but eye candy just aint enough! Must try harder!
