What critics compared The Mysteries of Pittsburgh to
Returning to the broad comedy strokes of his debut feature, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, after a detour with the seriously under-realized The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, director Rawson Marshall Thurber adequately manages the mechanics demanded here but adds no finesse or grace notes.
Then, four screenwriters (at least) and director Rawson Marshall Thurber ( Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story , The Mysteries of Pittsburgh ) drag this comedy out to nearly two hours, adding several needless subplots about bad guys, potential boyfriends and/or girlfriends, fights, chases, etc.
