Louiso’s misfiring comedy feels less like a comic feast than a thrown-together assemblage of haphazardly nuked leftovers.

Like Schwartzman, Stiller devotes aptly excessive attention to the portrayal of a character too invested in trivial pursuits himself. It's the movie's one decent joke, but, in the absence of laughs, the most the actors can draw from it is a mere grin.

Top CriticThe film is an all-you-can-eat buffet of mediocrity. A spiraling vortex of boredom. A deflated Whoopee cushion.
08/21/09
This is a slight and unessential picture, but its quirky, compassionate tone seems destined to attract a cult following, and members of high-school drama clubs everywhere will be riveted.

The Marc Pease Experience is likable enough; it's just no Rushmore.

If anyone were going to like The Marc Pease Experience, it would be me, and I didn't.

so bereft of anything close to humor that one wonders if it was even meant to be a comedy in the first place.
08/20/09
As pointless and obnoxious as someone pulling on your ears.
08/20/09
It’s badly written and inertly directed, with actors who don’t have a clue what drives their characters.
