Moira MacDonald Seattle Times Weinstock's screenplay takes too many shortcuts, never letting the characters emerge as people in their own right, rather than as a collection of carefully assigned character traits. Rated: 2/4 Nov 29, 2004 Full Review Anita Gates New York Times [Weinstock] does an impressive job of capturing the brave messiness of single life, or at least of 20-something dating. Rated: 3/5 Nov 29, 2004 Full Review Jack Mathews New York Daily News The movie ends on exactly the right note, but it hits a lot of bad ones on the way. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 29, 2004 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review E! Online A few chuckles and an attractive cast of capable actors can't overcome a scattered script that travels well-worn indie territory. Rated: C Dec 3, 2004 Full Review Sean Axmaker Seattle Post-Intelligencer ... tries to coast on this surface of quirks and cute details, but Weinstock's perfunctory direction stumbles over her attempts at humor and sabotages her performers. Rated: C- Nov 27, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Dave S Jamie (Marguerite Moreau) is a young woman paid to assess unusual consumer products and name them accordingly for marketing purposes. Unfortunately for Jamie, she is unable to assess her own life in the same objective manner. Seemingly unable to differentiate between love and sex, she commits to a vow of celibacy to help define her view on relationships. While Easy is similar in many ways to other films in the rom-com genre, what separates it from the pack is the magnetic performance of Moreau, who absolutely radiates in every scene, making her character vulnerable, relatable and likeable despite her considerable flaws. Complimented by a bevy of interesting supporting characters and dialogue that feels real throughout, Easy is a movie filled with heartbreak, laughter and insight. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Easy is not a chick flick, it might seem like it but its not, and its not your standard followed a roommate comedy. Easy is the film all these high around movies aspire to be smart, funny , sexy, appealing to both sexes, Easy is a funny , emotional, sexy movie for thinking adults. As that being said for this being a sold film, That captures what a young adult would in this type of situation, and for the leading actress being really convincing, I give " Easy " a solid C. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review steve d The charm of Marguerite Moreau makes it fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute and witty, with some unexpected, though plausible, twists in the plot; lots of likeable characters throughout. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Marquerite Moreau gives an appealing performance in this slight romcom. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review jon c Marguerite Moreau shines in this independent romance-dramedy a relaxing atmosphere combined with smooth music and real drama a woman thinks that love is very easy but when she chooses the celibate life things start to crumble and unravel her sister played by 'Bones' star Emily Deschanel gives a remarkably powerhouse performance you can see where Jamie and her family are struggling to get through this movie though still has a lot of problems when it comes to the characters and their decisions, stupid, reckless and idiotic aside from all that the film says love is never easy, sex might seem easy but can take a strain, and one person's choice is still somewhat difficult it's a pretty good time-waster Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
