Time Out

All of these characters are more interesting when things are going badly for them than when the tide has turned, and Carroll's determination to make the final reel an extended bout of audience tummy tickling is disappointingly conventional.

Nothing more than merely watchable film.

Sight and Sound

Carroll's milieu is resolutely middle class and the crises encountered all too predictable.

Chicago Reader

This charming romantic comedy with a Los Angeles setting cuts between seemingly unconnected miniplots the way some Robert Altman movies do.

Reeling Reviews

Playing By Heart tries hard and sometimes succeeds -- and Jolie is terrific.

New York Times

For all its artificiality, Playing by Heart percolates with an earnest charm.

Film Threat

The brightest spot belongs to Angelina Jolie, who is so compelling to watch she has chemistry with the furniture.

Los Angeles Times

If Playing by Heart is the kind of film that used to be known as a "woman's picture," it certainly provides more emotional nourishment than most other mainstream movies generate these days.

ReelViews

The movie is consistently well-acted and features a gallery of characters so affable that it's difficult to actively dislike any of them, or, for that matter, the film as a whole.

Nick's Flick Picks

The dozen or so lead characters of Playing By Heart fear silence the way Biblical people feared locusts.

Resource

Combustible Celluloid

A very slight and inoffensive movie. It's a lot like L.A. itself, all surface, soothing and warm.

June 03, 2006

Variety

Carroll's characters spend so much time talking, albeit intelligently, that the connections they make seem peculiarly synthetic.
