Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
Must have been nearly 10 years ago when I stumbled across a nifty little comedy in a far corner of a forgotten video store and happened to read the back of the box. It was a little-known low-budget comedy called Cold Blooded starring Jason Priestly as ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
Film Threat (D. W. Smith)
Another astute independent comedy shot on a small budget and boasting high laugh-per-minute ratio. But these are good laughs, not your average sitcom laughs. ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at Film Threat (D. W. Smith)
That Cow (Andrew Bradford)
I don't quote the Spice Girls for just any old review. I think I can safely assume this is the first time. And, rest assured, it may very well not happen again. I can the hear the sighs of relief now. Seeing Other People is all about figuring out what ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at That Cow (Andrew Bradford)

DVD Talk (Robert Spuhler)
Without Nicholson (or, more accurately, someone other than Nicholson in the role of "Alice"), Seeing Other People would look a lot like other romantic comedies on the market. But Nicholson, who won "Best Actress" at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival for her ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at DVD Talk (Robert Spuhler)

Mixed Reviews: The Arts, The World, and More (Gabriel Shanks)
Variety (Robert Koehler)
While lacking originality, pic is a case of cogent moviemaking that really knows its business. Traces of early Steven Soderbergh and recent Larry David enhance one of the most satisfying comedies in a fallow season. ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at Variety (Robert Koehler)
TV Guide (Ken Fox)
It's not only sexy, clever and well-acted by a fine cast of mostly TV actors, but it's also a grown-up comedyabout honest-to-God grown ups. ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at TV Guide (Ken Fox)

It isn't a successful movie but is sometimes a very interesting one, and there is real charm and comic agility by the two leads. ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Movie House Commentary
Despite an ultra-low budget, a microscopic theatrical trial, and 67% negative reviews, Seeing Other People is not a bad romantic comedy at all. It follows the standard Hollywood formula, boy meets girl, etc, but is a whole lot of fun along the way. ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at Movie House Commentary
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Alice and Ed are happy. They've been happy for five years. They're engaged to be married. But then Alice begins to mope. She wonders if she's been unfairly short-changed in the sexual ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
filmcritic.com (Jesse Hassenger)
Wallace Wolodarsky’s Seeing Other People is a comedy that’s supposed to be about how sexual temptation can really screw up a relationship, but it’s more illustrative of how a relationship can really screw up a comedy.

New York Times (Stephen Holden)
Just below the sitcom surface of this smart-talking comedy seethes a bitter critique of the sportive sexual habits of Southern California's babes-and-hunks culture. ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at New York Times (Stephen Holden)

The great cast should work together again on a project that aspires to be more than just pleasent. Not a bad movie, just a little too obvious. ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at efilmcritic.com (Collin Souter)
