      Audience Member I’m sure at the time this was a somewhat ground breaking movie of sorts but from 2020 it was a tad annoying to me 2.1 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/26/21 Full Review Audience Member All takes place on the phone because car phones were a big deal back then. Needless to say did not age well. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Denise Calls Up is a delightful comedy that just blows your socks off. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member good stuff but different Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 6.5/10. Imaginative and different, refreshing performances. The film makes an interesting point. Nicely edited, very well written. It doesn't work completely, but works well enough to make it very entertaining. Good direction by Hal Salwen. He developed the characters nicely.

      Emanuel Levy Variety A minor but quirkily charming comedy about alientaion, love, and folly that reflects the zeitgeist in terms of AIDS and modern technology. Rated: 3/4 Jun 19, 2006 Full Review Hal Hinson Washington Post Salwen has captured and properly identified a very particular modern American species. His emergence as a filmmaker is a true event. Oct 16, 2002 Full Review Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times At only 80 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome, but slight though it may be, it knows how to create constant smiles. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 14, 2001 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Sarah Chauncey Reel.com Who'd have thought a movie about people talking on the phone could be so fun? Rated: 4/5 Jun 4, 2004 Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel Worcester Telegram & Gazette Rated: 2/5 May 28, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
