Graham carries this for a while, but Kramer spends entirely too much time weakly satirizing Graham's job at an advertising agency, where Molly Shannon's a kvetching coworker.

Gray Matters
A romantic comedy about a brother, a sister and the girl of their dreams.
2006 · 1h 36m · PG-13
Comedy, Romance
Directed by
Sue Kramer
Overview
Sam and Gray are such a well-matched pair that it is difficult to believe they are brother and sister rather than husband and wife. They both share a love of 1940s movies and dancing, and when they meet Charlie, they have something else in common: They both fall in love with her. Sam must deal with unexpected feelings of jealousy, while Gray struggles to come to terms with her sexual orientation.

In its genre writer-director Sue Kramer's film sets a new record for bright shining peepers and dimply smirks. It's enough to kill Buster Keaton's entire family.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
The writing isn't sharp enough for the film to work as comedy, nor are the characters real enough for the audience to connect emotionally.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten
[Heather Graham's] never looked better, despite the unflattering digital video format, which makes it all the more tragic that she's not appearing in better material.
Peter Debruge, Miami Herald
Rotten
There is, one has to assume, a pretty good old-fashioned screwball comedy in all this, but director-writer Sue Kramer seems to have grown up watching Rhoda so Graham, usually a capable actress, has not a word of actual dialogue, only gag lines.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
