Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Campbell Scott bristles, burns, and sneers as Roger, a would-be smoothie who gets jilted by his older lover (who also happens to be his boss at an advertising agency). When his teenage nephew Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) appears at his office the next day, hoping for lessons in how to deal with the ladies, Roger uses his nephew partly as a foil, partly as a prop as he vents his anger and unhappiness on women in a scathing tour of bars and parties. A sharp script and multidimensional performances make Roger Dodger more than a standard war-of-the-sexes diatribe. Scott (Big Night, The Spanish Prisoner) doesn't ask for sympathy and doesn't allow for pity--his award-winning performance as Roger has defiance and dignity, whether the character is spitting bile or humiliating himself. Featuring strong supporting performances from Eisenberg, Isabella Rossellini (Blue Velvet), Jennifer Beals (In the Soup), and (surprise) Elizabeth Berkley (Showgirls). --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Roger Dodger - Compelling and Revolting All At Once
The type of character that is portrayed in Roger Dodger is like a lot of guys I have met. I have known guys that slowly drifted into seeking to stroke their egos by sleeping with anybody they could and acting like they were WAY COOLER than they actually were. That is why this portrayal is so amazing. It takes a lot for an actor to portray such a polarizing character this well. This is truly a great film for lovers of great acting.
Some people may relate to this character ... Read More
Rating:  - Shame they forgot about the plot.
A teenager goes to his uncle for help in learning how to seduce women. It's just a shame that the makers of this film forgot about a plot and made the uncle's character a bit of an idiot. I was glad when this film ended. A tedious way to spend 100 minutes. You have been warned.
Rating: - Cute, Funny and Full of Practical advice for the post-pubescent teenager
Excellent Dialogue, acting, and plot, Rodger Dodger takes us into the developing mind of a sixteen year old boy who's trying to learn how to approach and interact with women. His alcoholic and jaded uncle shows him the ropes in New York City and takes him out for a night of incredible skirt-chasing he'll never forget.
The primary focus of the movie is on dialogue, and I'd definitely label it a comedy so be sure to turn up the volume and listen to every exchange offered, it'll keep you ... Read More
Rating: - Such a fantastic movie
I'm a huge fan of Cambell Scott so of course I like this movie. I think its clever dialog and Roger's misogynistic advice make this one very interesting coming of age story. While it did drag on at times, it's a staple in every man's movie collection. There are a lot of intricate details that only come into light after multiple viewings, and any movie like that is worth buying.
Rating:  - when your oncle wants make your sexual education !
This movie is interesting for the confrontation between a seducer man, who seems blasé and a teenager, romantic, pure... and when this young boy meets Jennifer Beals...She understands his sensibility...Watch it ! It's a nice story.
