1/4
"To the annals of romantic stalker comedies, the appallingly creepy Management adds pretension and may blaze new, jaw-dropping territory: the predatory Beast totally rehabilitates Beauty."
Slant Magazine

"
Management
should come equipped with some type of safety restraint to best absorb the shock of all the uncomfortable tonal changes that continually derail the film."

"Disarmingly clever performances from Steve Zahn and Jennifer Aniston bring out the emotional highs of writer/director Stephen Belber's modest but effective romantic comedy."

2.5/4
"...the palpable chemistry between Zahn and Aniston certainly [plays] a key role in the film's initial success."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
3/4
"An astute slice-of-life, a sympathetic character study, and an offbeat love story all rolled into one satisfying package. Mixes genre conventions with an appetizing quirkiness in an overall confection of bliss."

"To be completely honest, I was ready to walk out of the new Jennifer Aniston movie "Management" after ten minutes."

"They make an intriguing pair, and
Management
, for all its hard-to-define mix of melancholy and absurdity, makes for an intriguing movie."

"Thanks to the stars' adept way with Belber's script, this little movie manages to win you over."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
4/5
"An endearing romantic comedy that explores many different dimensions of love and nurturing."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2/4
"Poor scriptwriting decisions and a failure to advance the romance in a gradual, credible fashion doom whatever chances this could have had to enrapture audiences."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2/4
"For a small movie trying to shoulder its way into the summer m ix, it could have been a hidden gem; either the most touching film of the season or the most pleasantly silly."

""Knocked Up's" Seth Rogan stood a chance because he had personality. Zahn just hands us a winsome baby animal picture."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
"[C]an't even be bothered to consider its concept from the perspective of the female protagonist it would like us to like..."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
"The weirdness employed by Stephen Belber's amorous fairy tale is of a decidedly limp, half-hearted sort."
Cinematical
Nick Schager
2.5/5
"quickly abandons its singular unpretentiousness for three-ring goofiness"
Filmcritic.com
Paul Brenner
3.5/5
"Gentle and very sweet, this low-key romance takes some rather random turns as it drifts toward the obvious conclusion. But it's very nicely played, and it still manages to catch us emotionally."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
"Forget logic here, there's a good cast, nice chemistry and warm feelings all around as they all fumble around for something to bring meaning to their lives."
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
2/4
"Goes for broke on sentiment but overlooks important details that make decent films great."
Charlotte Weekly
Sean O'Connell
4/10
"Uneven, incoherent and flimsy - and obviously influenced by the success of by "Knocked Up" - it explores the silly, sweet side of stalking."
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
4/10
"Presents characters whose behavior is the behavior of grotesques; there is no connection drawn between what happens on the page and what is recognisably human."
