"First off, Mia, Mia, Mia...
She was never at the top of my list until now. She plays coy and seductive and friendly and warm so very well. I'm glad she was multi-dimensional in this film.
Honestly, I wasn't sure what to make of this film from the initial description. It looked like just another one of those romantic-styled comedies that are more run-of-the-mill than interesting. ACCORDING TO SPENCER was an extremely pleasant surprise. I'm glad that my intuition took over and forced me to watch this film because it has quickly become one of my favorites. It's become like "comfort food" because I think we've all been in Spencer's place at one point or another.
In other words...I highly recommend this film for its ingenuity, uniqueness (dude...seriously...the roommates!!!!), and warmth. It won't change your life, but it will put a constant smile on your face for hours and hours."
Bad movie! I will never get the 2 hours back!!!

"Love Mia Kirshner, love Adam Goldberg, love Krumholtz and Bradshaw. HATE this movie. It was filled with plot holes and missing chemistry. I have no idea what the producers were thinking. Please, save yourself an hour and a half. Rent Police Academy or anything else that makes even a lick of sense."
