Alissa Wilkinson Paste Magazine 04/12/2016
7.4/10
Clever, quirky, and surprisingly affecting, Paper Man is a good reminder of what it takes to finally grow up. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Primarily charming and peculiarly funny, but dribbles on during the final portion of the film. Go to Full Review
Ian Buckwalter NPR 07/18/2010
6.4/10
Aided by subtly wounded performances by Daniels and Stone, and a surprisingly affecting comic turn from Reynolds, Paper Man makes up for many of its shortcomings with an abundance of heart. Go to Full Review

GG G @GloriaGG 3d Twists and turns from laugh out loud funny, to deep despair. Silly and deeply serious in turn, just like life. See more charles R @RT59434138 6d This movie is beautiful. The actors are amazing. It is deeply human. About messed up but beautiful people. It probably has a low rating because people have been taught that someone needs to be shot someone needs to be the hero trope there has to be sexual tension romance they need the tropes. This movie touched me right and the actors wow all of them See more Martin B @RT44235356 Feb 15 My view one of Kudrow's best performances. She played the part of the rock solid spouse to Daniels sniveling, whiny husband character. Not a sympathetic character but necessary for contrast to Daniel character. As for the rest it had some good parts but mostly it was about confused and aimless people bumping up against each other only connecting out of exhaustion. Aside from Kudrow's stand out performance the next best part was Emma Stone's eyes. See more Edward G @EddieDale Jan 29 This is a highly under rated movie. It is listed as a comedy drama. This is in no way a comedy. It is a study into the minds of two people suffering from deep phycological injuries and how they help each other by becoming friends. It doesn't have a super happy ending, But, shows how each may find a way to move forward because of what they shared together. Ed See more Paula D @RT82635776 Sep 25 I thought this was endearing. Genuine. Loved the quirky characters and each coming to terms with traumas and disappointment.
