What sustains ''Key Exchange'' is not surprise, but the intelligence of its characters and of the people who made it.

Rated: 3.5/5

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

Creates characters who should be in the same room with one another and then separates them with dreary and predictable artifice.

Rated: 0/4

The picture proceeds from dull thud to mild amusement and back again.

The whole thing comes off as a cliched embarrassment that doesn't show even a pittance of insight.

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

Spirituality & Practice

A crisp comedy of manners about young urban professionals who, while quite capable at work, find themselves less apt when it comes to relationships.

Key Exchange is an interesting film. It is about a young woman who wants her boyfriend to commit to her. Brooke Adams and Danny Aielo give excellent performances. The screenplay is well written. Barnet Kellman did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this movie because of the awesome characters. Key Exchange is a must see.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

One of those completely 80's cheesy films. I did enjoy seeing a younger Ben Masters (Julian Crane from Passions).
