This is an appallingly silly movie, from its juvenile comic overture to its dreadfully sincere conclusion.
February 27, 2008
James Toback's long-gestating portrait of a one-track mind becomes bogged down in unconvincing plot mechanics.
February 27, 2008
Toback has devised an interesting premise that draws parallels between risking one's heart and one's wallet, but the picture itself risks little.

A light and fairly innocuous youth picture.

Features Robert Downey Jr. as a smooth-talking womanizer who meets his match.
January 01, 2000
Downey, who worked for one season on Saturday Night Live, has just the right emotional weight for the role of Jack, and the right touch of goofy boyishness to soften his aggressiveness.

A very challenging movie. Downey Jr and Ringwald sizzle.
January 01, 2000
Pickup's 'little more' is in its quirky characters and its intentionally goofy melodrama.

Molly Ringwald and Robert Downey Jr. head the unusually talented cast of characters assembled for this small but taut film.

The film roams from the Upper West Side to Coney Island to Atlantic City, maintaining a lighthearted style that doesn't quite match the hints of obsessiveness in Mr. Toback's screenplay.
