- Synopsis
- Heather Graham (Boogie Nights, Bowfinger) stars as Joline, a New York club owner who takes her word very, very seriously. When she marries photographer Carl (Luke Wilson of Bottle Rocket) for better or for worse, she means it. So when he leaves her and goes to Texas to find himself, she decides to follow him--after she puts the daisies he left for her in a blender and turns them into a puree. She tracks him down through a mixture of luck and magic, and starts to integrate herself into Carl's life without him knowing it. She encourages his editor to give Carl better assignments, she becomes friends with a woman he's dating, she protects him from that woman's jealous ex-lover. And all this while, as she sits in her parked car staring intently at Carl's trailer, one of his neighbors attempts to befriend and woo her. Committed is a mixture of quirky characters and off-kilter humor that didn't go over well in theaters, even though it was a hit at the Sundance Film Festival.

-
"Graham is lots of fun to watch, but it's hard to reconcile the split halves of her character."
-
"Graham is funny and adorable in this endearing little romantic comedy."
-
"Runs dry amid the cactus and sagebrush, but Graham's cartoony take on angelic unstoppableness makes us not mind so much."
-
"Krueger's comedy doesn't always spark, but its underlying intelligence - not to mention Graham's eyes - shines through."
-
"It's a one-joke premise that ultimately wears thin, but Krueger works some playful variations on a theme."
-
"One more movie comedy about how love can turn you into an idiot. And its major flaw, among many others, is that the idiocy takes over the movie."
-
"With its capacity to surprise, the film comes to life when you don't expect it to, in tiny but wonderfully off-center moments."
