There's more to Stephen Belber's debut than just manufactured whimsy, not least a wise and witty script, and some beautifully sketched side characters supporting two reliably charming leads.

You watch Management thinking of the comedy Aniston and Zahn could have made, and wishing you were watching that movie instead.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Random weirdness aside, Belber telegraphs this story arc from Sue's first drop-in to Podunk. Message received. No surprises here.
Troy Melhus, Minneapolis Star Tribune

The trademark hitch in Aniston's line delivery is an effective shorthand for taking a leap of faith. In the case of both her character and her career, Management represents an admirable choice.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Management has two things going for it: Steve Zahn and Jennifer Aniston. Luckily, those are two very good things.
