Critics consensus

“Better Living Through Chemistry proves suburban satire and a talented cast can be mixed together to produce a disappointingly tepid blend.”

"Better Living Through Chemistry" as a whole feels rather superficial and safe.

Sam Rockwell's committed performance can't save the glib debut of filmmakers Geoff Moore and David Posamentier.

Cynical dark comedy "Better Living Through Chemistry" stands out against other foul-mouthed, indie-ish capers for one reason: Sam Rockwell.
