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

Asia Frey

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

If nothing else, the directors have assembled an impressive, if underutilized cast.

It's got some of the comic-noir-y small town murder plot of 'To Die For' without the payoff. It's got some of the male midlife crisis of 'American Beauty' without the nuance.

Some chemicals, when combined, manage only to become inert.

It takes only half-hearted jabs at suburban angst and the pharmaceutical industry in favor of feel-good cuteness.
