This gentle romance is about an anxiety-ridden children's book author, Henry Roth (Billy Crudup) who seems to suffer from simultaneous bouts of tourettes syndrome, paranoia, and OCD. Holding on to resentment for his troubled childhood and possessing a great disdain for... Full review

Most people who didn't like or understand 'Dedication (2007)' focused their biased irrational criticism on superficialities.It doesn't really matter what inspires the children's book or if the characters appear believable in our normal context of life or not. They are... Full review

I have to say too (like some of the other commentators) that this shouldn't be titled as a romantic comedy, although that it may be. But maybe it could attract more people to it by saying that it is a... Full review

Response to Boston Globe review (9/21/07) It took dedication and perseverance to see the Sundance Festival (not mentioned) film "Dedication" after reading your negative review. Having overcome the barriers created by your dissection of characters and plot I was surprised... Full review

October 5th, 2007 "Dedication" is a loopy, semi-romantic comedy better served had it been made by Hal Hartley....Imagine the editing of the most banal MTV video in current rotation....low budget, feisty actors, hipster soundtrack (by Deerhoof), and prickly sentiments of attachment and personal care.....Theroux is much better with his actors, using Crudup's addiction to insular emoting wisely to soften what is a very distancing character.....Funny what dark hair and heavy eye-makeup will do to an actress's b ...

Theroux, best known for his work for David Lynch and for TV's "Six Feet Under," has assembled a fine cast....he provides a few acerbic comic moments.....But he also has a tendency to overplay things, with self-consciously arty direction and an intrusive soundtrack..... ... Full Review

Unlike most of what Moore has been in, "Dedication" is unlikely to delight retirement homes on movie night.....So his film is an arty work of dejection that never rises to the occasion of actual art.....I want the best for Mandy Moore..... ... Full Review
