A pleasant, leisurely 71 minutes, frequently beguiling thanks to Gurwitch's soft-sell version of the urbane, Second City-esque female noodge.

Having written a book about being fired, Annabelle Gurwitch has now made a documentary as well, and it's something of a mess.

Modestly amusing in fits and starts, Fired! proves most potent when on-screen interviewees are playing for keeps, not for laughs.
40
Fired! is missing the one thing it could have used most: a career objective.

At one point, David Cross tells Gurwitch to enjoy being unemployed, because "When you're fired, you're interesting." But as Fired! proves, that ain't necessarily so.

Feels like a desperate attempt to stretch a flimsy half-hour made-for-cable concept into a feature film.

It's a shame Allen fired her from that play. After all, then she might not have had the time to make this documentary.
