...a decent drama that isn't, in the end, able to reach the heights that writer/director Jill Soloway is clearly aiming for.

The results are a little life lesson-y but well-observed.

Funny and trenchant, it isn't a shapely farce. It's a comedy of confusion that dares to be unlikable -- and somehow, that makes it more lovable.

Mistaking smug self-awareness for satire, the film attempts to skewer yuppie privilege while accidentally wallowing in it.

As a first film, Afternoon Delight is worth exploring -- perhaps mostly to see what film Soloway does next.

The story doesn't hold together, but Hahn and Temple are terrific.

The entire film is good but the revelation here is Hahn, reliably one of the funniest women in Hollywood, now suddenly given a rich, complex and even sexy role.

No longer the hilarious side role, Soloway gives Hahn an opportunity to star. She, in turn, proves ready and deserving of the challenge.

Kathryn Hahn is outstanding as the unraveling Rachel ... capable of significantly more depth than she's had the chance to display in her regular goofball comedy roles.

"Afternoon Delight" puts the typical suburban mother's lifestyle under an uncomfortably honest microscope, then documents the sporadically funny and occasionally sad results.

As Rachel enters her late-30s wilderness, Hahn only gets better.

It's refreshing to hear dialogue that's natural and modern and doesn't try to pontificate. And the rewards are many.
