Los Angeles Times | Betsy SharkeyAdd Critic to Favorites

Though it doesn't always work, it's an idea with its heart in the right place and, paired with nonshock comedy, it's a nice change of pace.Read the full review

USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

It's a sweetly strange yet uneven comedy, with a charming lead performance by Steve Zahn offset by a lackluster one from Jennifer Aniston.Read the full review

Slate | Dana StevensAdd Critic to Favorites

Management remains for the most part as endearing as its leads. Steve Zahn is a wonderful actor who's spent too long in the "hey, it's that guy" best-friend role.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

A standard-order romantic comedy with many of the expected twists and complications. It suffers from the flaw of not giving the lead characters enough time together.Read the full review

Variety | Joe LeydonAdd Critic to Favorites

Picture benefits greatly from appealing performances by Jennifer Aniston and Steve Zahn, who deftly apply darker emotional shadings to their characters when necessary, and equally fine work from a small ensemble of solid supporting players.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalleAdd Critic to Favorites

Painless and predictable, with an amusing if overwrought featured performance by Woody Harrelson.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan RabinAdd Critic to Favorites

Like its protagonist, Management is dopey and impractical, but strangely winning all the same.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

Isn't it time Steve Zahn grew up? Ever since the '90s, this walking quirk of an actor has pushed his dazed solipsistic zaniness (he's like Michael J. Fox’s hillbilly cousin), but he's 41 now, and it no longer looks cute on him.Read the full review
