It was refreshing to watch a black comedy with well known actors and actresses in the film with no cursing and not insulting one's intelligence. Before this film, I was not a fan of Duane, but I'm most certainly now.... Full review

Qwipster's Movie Reviews
The Seat Filler might be a standard romantic comedy at its core, but the screenwriters benefit from crafting a funny and fresh enough premise to make it just a little different than the norm in its execution.
The Seat Filler should have additional appeal to R&B/Pop fans that enjoy Rowland's work as a solo artist, as well her involvement as a member of the popular group, Destiny's Child.
