The Pick-up Artist Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Henry Sheehan
he Pick-Up Artist is not going to change anyone's life or deflect the course of film history, but it's an invigorating and enjoyable entertainment...
NPR's Fresh Air
Michael Sragow
The Pick-Up Artist has wit, sweetness, and exuberance.
United Press International
Cathy Burke
Molly Ringwald and Robert Downey Jr. head the unusually talented cast of characters assembled for this small but taut film.
Variety
Variety Staff
James Toback's long-gestating portrait of a one-track mind becomes bogged down in unconvincing plot mechanics.
TV Guide
Toback has devised an interesting premise that draws parallels between risking one's heart and one's wallet, but the picture itself risks little.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Features Robert Downey Jr. as a smooth-talking womanizer who meets his match.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
The film roams from the Upper West Side to Coney Island to Atlantic City, maintaining a lighthearted style that doesn't quite match the hints of obsessiveness in Mr. Toback's screenplay.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This is an appallingly silly movie, from its juvenile comic overture to its dreadfully sincere conclusion.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Pickup's 'little more' is in its quirky characters and its intentionally goofy melodrama.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Downey, who worked for one season on Saturday Night Live, has just the right emotional weight for the role of Jack, and the right touch of goofy boyishness to soften his aggressiveness.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
A light and fairly innocuous youth picture.
