Heather Graham Movie:

Editorial Review:
Heather Graham (Boogie Nights, Bowfinger) stars as Joline, a New York club owner who takes her word very, very seriously. When she marries photographer Carl (Luke Wilson of Bottle Rocket) for better or for worse, she means it. So when he leaves her and goes to Texas to find himself, she decides to follow him--after she puts the daisies he left for her in a blender and turns them into a puree. She tracks him down through a mixture of luck and magic, and starts to integrate herself into Carl's life without him knowing it. She encourages his editor to give Carl better assignments, she becomes friends with a woman he's dating, she protects him from that woman's jealous ex-lover. And all this while, as she sits in her parked car staring intently at Carl's trailer, one of his neighbors attempts to befriend and woo her. Committed is a mixture of quirky characters and off-kilter humor that didn't go over well in theaters, even though it was a hit at the Sundance Film Festival. But though its story meanders, it explores love relationships from many sides, with a gentle but clear-eyed freshness. Joline could be viewed as an obsessive stalker, but Graham invests her character with faith and charm that grows more and more engaging as the movie goes on--plus, she wears a number of tight-fitting hipster outfits and looks fabulous. The supporting cast--including Casey Affleck (Desert Blue) and Dylan Baker (Happiness)--is excellent. Committed may seem a little unfocused, but it's also genuinely unpredictable and comes together in surprising ways. A sweet, subtle movie. --Bret Fetzer

Committed [Region 2] Reviews:
not a good movie
2009-06-28 - i purchased this dvd for a good price from a good seller, but i hate to say that the movie was a junk.

funny
2008-12-24 - the best and funniest "i've been dumped" movie for women!! we've all been there before; kicked, curbed and in denial, a participating victim of our intuition for all the wrong, crafty reasons. laugh when you feel like crying. one of my favorite movies of all time.

*As Comitted As Can Be!*
2008-01-27 - It is an okay movie.Shows what one person will do to keep her word.It does keep you watching to see what happens.

Deep for Comedy but a Great little Sleeper
2006-12-21 - This movie hit me at just the right time. Normally I would have turned it off as the pace was a little too leisurely but the little spiritual messages it was giving me were so perfectly spot-on that I had to watch it all. The main character reminded me of myself going through a hard time, and how a spiritual experience can look like a psychotic episode from the outside. The acting was good, the characters understandable and the road trip was a lot of fun.

The first comedy that ever made me re-examine myself
2006-09-15 - It takes a certain type of person to enjoy this movie for what and who it tries to appreciate. For the extremely introspective, honor-obsessed, and non-conventional folk out there, this IS the comedy to watch. I was left falling in love with the main character - sometimes reminding me of myself, or mostly of people I know - and was also left with one dominate, repetitive thought: I'm not alone.

People usually associate the comedy genre with lightness, and fluffy, not-too-deep mania. (I'm guilty of it myself) It just catches you off-gaurd how deep this movie really is, and how much it reveals about the human mind and emotions. The "let down" the other reviewers speak of, is going in to see this movie, looking for the wrong things. Perhaps we've ALL forgotten that deep thoughts can be funny.
