May 7, 2012: Ah, spring, when even a misanthrope’s fancy turns to thoughts of love, or at least the vicarious experience of it. Seriously, don’t you feel in the mood for a romantic comedy right about now — one that isn’t too sappy on the one hand, or too snarky on the other?

May 7, 2012: Paul Weitz, who shot to fame with "American Pie," has a thing for compulsive overachievers who flame out on the pyre of their own ambitions. Scribe returns to the subject he took up in "Trust" and "Privilege" with his new play, "Lonely, I'm Not," the tragicomic tale of a corporate "ninja" struggling to pull himself together after a nervous breakdown. Weitz confers his engaging gift of gab on this semi-catatonic hero, Topher Grace plays him with boundless charm in helmer Trip Cullman's inventive production, and love-interest Olivia Thirlby gives him reason to live. Second Stage scores again.

May 7, 2012: Even with a thin story and tendency to spell out its themes, Paul Weitz’s new play at Second Stage, “Lonely, I’m Not,” is fun and worthwhile just to see two exceptionally appealing young actors shine in sterling star turns.

May 7, 2012: No one makes depression as attractive as Topher Grace. In “Lonely, I’m Not,” the former star of TV’s “That ’70s Show” manages to make abject misery seem the only rational way to see the world.
