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.

Scott Brown Entertainment Weekly Sentimental yet insensate, this forgotten '04 trifle is Burns at his worst ... Rated: D+ Sep 8, 2006 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post Burns turns in a nicely understated performance; but it's David Krumholtz, as Abe, who's the backbone of the movie. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 1, 2006 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News Looking for Kitty offers moments of striking insight amid the inevitable self-indulgence. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 1, 2006 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Looking for Kitty's pervasively underwhelming atmosphere renders all of its positive attributes moot ... Rated: 2/4 Oct 19, 2014 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com They're just too dull, and we start to sympathize with the women who left them both behind. Rated: 2/5 Oct 24, 2006 Full Review Pam Grady FilmStew.com Burns and Numbers' David Krumholtz are very good in portraying Jack and Abe's need to re-establish a human connection.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Audience Member another winner from director/star Edward Burns Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
