(1 - 42) of 42 OFCS Rating: 95% Fresh Page   1   3.5/4 "Dylan Kidd writes quotable dialogue and monologues that have the muscle of early Mamet without the attendant sameness of every character."   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers B "Though Roger is hateful, he is consistently mesmeric. Scott's layered performance eventually allows glimpses through Roger's smoke and mirrors without being obvious."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna 3/4 "Roger Dodger features a protagonist who's so abrasive, it's a wonder that he doesn't send viewers charging for the exits. Fortunately, Campbell Scott (The Spanish Prisoner), and novice writer-director Dylan Kidd imbue the arrogant, predator"   Nitrate Online   Dan Lybarger 3.5/4 "Razor sharp and remarkable, one of the year's best films!"   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth "...Campbell is entirely convincing as he slips into the shoes of this long-time player."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C+ "It's a minor comedy that tries to balance sweetness with coarseness, while it paints a sad picture of the singles scene."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "The film's highlight is definitely its screenplay, both for the rhapsodic dialogue that jumps off the page, and for the memorable character creations."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2.5/4 "Think of Roger Dodger as a less mean-spirited version of Your Friends and Neighbors."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 3.5/4 "In a career performance that deserves Oscar consideration, Campbell Scott finds that middle ground in-between Aaron Eckhart's Chad & Vince Vaughn's Trent so that you loathe things that he says and does, but can’t help but feel compelled to watch him do hi"   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C+ "Kidd's script is too optimistic to do its interestingly sleazy protagonist justice."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3.5/4 "Kidd's wickedly irreverent and succulent narrative cunningly cuts to the quick in the way it examines the boorish behavior of male mischievousness that ultimately serves as the needed comeuppance to redefine their consciousness."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B "Ourside the theatre Roger might be intolerable company, but inside it he's well worth spending some time with."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Offers some fresh twists on the well-worn theme of sexual politics and shows how far some men still have to go to achieve emotional intelligence."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat A- "Genuine movie magic...it transports you to a place somewhere between eavesdropping voyeur and silent referee."   Mixed Reviews   Gabriel Shanks 3/4 "Aa delight for anyone who loves to absorb dialogue."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "Campbell Scott’s performance gives the character an added dimension, one of inner sadness and loneliness that taints even his most deplorable speeches with potential sympathy"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/5 "An older cad instructs a younger lad in Zen and the art of getting laid in this prickly indie comedy of manners and misanthropy."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3.5/4 "Campbell Scott's amusing and contemptuous performance is the stuff of awards."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "Takes delight in skewering [Roger's] carefully-formed suppositions while never entirely disproving his theories."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 4/5 "[Director Dylan] Kidd might not be Shakespeare (though he's got a remarkably tuned ear for dialogue), but his sense of structure and willingness to push the flawed, comic-tragic protagonist to the fore merits the grand comparison."   ToxicUniverse.com   Jeremiah Kipp 2.5/4 "It only rarely becomes less than apparent that lurking behind these clever characters there's a cleverer screenwriter, delighting himself as he takes turns setting each of them up for a verbal fall."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 8/10 "Other than the slightly flawed (and fairly unbelievable) finale, everything else is top shelf."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 4.5/5 "I was aglow for some time with the levels and layers and brilliant character moments that stuff this film. This is why I review movies. Go see it."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 4/4 "The best American debut since Reservoir Dogs."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B+ "Kidd and Scott have created one of the year's most memorable characters"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 4/5 "Campbell Scott's fiendishly mercurial performance as razor-tongued womanizer Roger is a revelation but it's only one of this nimble film's pleasures."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "An entertaining look into the male psyche -- well, at least the psyche of males preoccupied with adolescent concerns."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "As a portrait in cluelessness, [it’s] a hoot."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "What sounds on the surface like another generic sex comedy is actually a bitingly funny character study."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "Dark and disturbing, but also surprisingly funny."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B+ "Dylan Kidd creates, with the capable help of his cast and crew, a terrific debut with the smart, funny and upbeat “Roger Dodger.”"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B+ "Sharply written and confidentially directed, the feature debut of Dylan Kidd is the kind of character study in romantic cynicism that actors live for. (Campbell) Scott savors every word..."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 3.5/4 "Casanova Virgil and virginal Dante into the concentric circles of casual sex hell."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 8/10 Read review   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel 7/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf B+ Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
