Closing Escrow

Fresh: No matter how ridiculous the characters come off, they're more than just punch lines. In fact, despite their quirks, [they're] improbably endearing. – Laura Kern, New York Times, Jul 16, 2008

Fresh: A sometimes laugh-out-loud send-up of homebuyers' worst instincts, the extreme behavior of real-estate agents and what happens when the certifiably insane save enough for a down payment. – John Anderson, Variety, Jul 7, 2010

Rotten: A spoof, sometimes a funny one, and sometimes just plain overkill. – Lael Loewenstein, Los Angeles Times, Sep 20, 2007
