What to Know

Critics Consensus

What aspires to be a sophisticated, unconventional romantic comedy turns out to be a contrivance-filled pretender to other, better films of its genre.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader I saw this at a festival and hated it, then sat through it again a year later and decided it wasn't so bad, aside from the god-awful ending. Dec 18, 2006 Full Review Liz Moody Empire Magazine Freundlich's intelligent, very funny take on male-female relationships manages the not inconsiderable feat of being both jaded and appealingly fresh. Rated: 3/5 Sep 22, 2006 Full Review Ben Walters Time Out It's a pity, because few romcoms pull off the basically sympathetic mining of personal vanities and social embarrassment that the film manages in its opening hour. Sep 21, 2006 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Trust me on this one. This is one time you can Trust The Man Nov 9, 2019 Full Review Heather Huntington ReelzChannel.com Rated: 6/10 Feb 9, 2011 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com "Trust The Man" is an agreeable New York-centric romantic comedy about two couples on the brink of self-destructing.

Munkhchimeg T Hey! If you are interested in knowing about real life struggles you must watch it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Audience Member It takes a lot to make such a strong cast dull, but this movie manages to do that. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible title. Awful movie. Only redeeming factors: New York City as backdrop and cast of good actors, mostly wasted on this drivel. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a battle of the sexes - and while the men do manage to win the screen, they're almost as clueless, and unbearable to watch as the women they're with. And the ending is laughably bad. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member If it wasn't for the fact that I really like several of the actors, I probably wouldn't have stuck this out. The character study is good, but there's just not a lot of point. While the acting is really pretty impressive, I really wish the actors had been given more to do. I guess if nothing else, it serves to make you feel better about yourself because it can't possibly be as screwed up as these people are. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Se procura um romance estilo classico. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
