Looking for Kitty

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Narratively shallow and visually pedestrian, Looking for Kitty suggests writer-director-star Edward Burns might need to rest and recharge his creative batteries.

Sentimental yet insensate, this forgotten '04 trifle is Burns at his worst ... Go to Full Review

Burns turns in a nicely understated performance; but it's David Krumholtz, as Abe, who's the backbone of the movie. Go to Full Review

Burns and Numbers' David Krumholtz are very good in portraying Jack and Abe's need to re-establish a human connection. Go to Full Review

See more 03/20/2015 another winner from director/star Edward Burns See more 11/24/2012 Looking for Kitty is the sort of indie comedy that is far too smug for its own good. It has some scenes that work well, but the film itself just feels too one-note, simplistic, and far too confined to justify its already brief running time. The characters aren't particularly interesting, the situations aren't particularly funny, and the narrative isn't nearly as clever as the filmmakers seem to believe it is. About the only thing it has going for it are the indie sensibilities that inject a sense of realism. That, however, only goes so far when there isn't much else to keep the audience engaged. The acting is serviceable, and the writing okay, but the story is too bland. Overall, a lackluster attempt at Woody Allen imitation. 2.5/5 Stars See more Read all reviews
