The Swiss-quartz comic timing of the film's ensemble cast makes its neurotic characters more compelling than your average cinematic slackers.

Erin Clements, Time Out New York
Fresh

This is a hit and miss romantic comedy with a few solid laughs and some pretty smart dialogue.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten

Don't send a gift. Send your regrets. This is one wedding invitation that can clearly, safely be declined.

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten

The aptly named Standing Still, about postcollegiate 20-somethings, has the dramatic momentum of a daisy-picking toddler.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten

Relentlessly shallow.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
