A comedy that can make you cry, Used People is the season's most pleasant surprise.

Used People tells the sort of romantic fable we would all like to believe in, but this is not the movie to make us believe in it.

Used People takes forever to get off the ground, then follows a predictable course. But in the end, like the vintage accordion that Joe teaches Swee' Pea to play, it squeezes some rich sentiments out of thin air.

Has the feel of a film which has been created, with the help of lifestyle questionnaires... [and] for all that, the end product is chilling rather than romantic.
