Matt Weitz, Dallas Morning News
Fun and entertaining but ends up lending an air of contrivance that keeps you from taking it too much to heart. Full Review

Janice Page, Boston Globe
Pape and Saville-Read are so busy winking and chuckling over their own clever lampooning of Hollywood conventions that they forget to make the rest of us care. Full Review

Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
In trying to qualify as mordant satire, charming rom-com, uplifting buddy movie about underdogs trying to stick it to the man and the most meta story ever told, L.A. Twister sprains itself badly. Full Review

Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, TheMovieChicks.com
This L.A. story is more like a straight to video kind of movie than one to rush out and see on the big screen. Full Review

Frank Swietek, One Guy's Opinion
One of those feeble little efforts you'd be inclined to skip at a minor film festival--with good reason. Full Review
