A love story, but Spade is way too smug to appear the slightest bit sincere in his scenes with Marceau for it to work at all on that level.

Reviews for Lost & Found
A mundane sitcom with feature pretensions, the kind where the comic 'situation' is simply a coat-rack for hanging a rag-tag assortment of inflated sight gags and telegraphed punch lines.
Spade is uncomfortably awkward as a romantic lead -- he's better employed in supporting comic roles.
Spade serves as both star and co-writer of this lame, crass romantic comedy. Most of the jokes he's written fall flat, and his delivery isn't much better.
The toilet humor and There's Something About Mary dog joke retreads lead Lost astray.
Funny for 15 minutes and then fades into mean-spirited cruelty and stupidity.
Nothing but a cynical, astonishingly inept attempt to copy Mary's formula.
The film belongs to the lovely Marceau, who brings a sense of heart and humor to an underwritten part.
There's not enough story to get you interested in Dylan's plight and not enough laughs to compensate for the lack of a story.
Dumb fun, and only occasionally Spade, J.B. Cook and Marc Meeks' screenplay lapses into dumber and dumbest.
