Reception

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes the film has a score of 53% based on reviews from 17 critics, with an average rating of 5.5/10.[2]

Josh Rosenblatt of The Austin Chronicle gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5,[3] while Ruthe Stein of the San Francisco Chronicle gave A Four Letter Word one out of 4.[4]

Tom Russo of The Boston Globe said "The film also serves up latte-frothy glimpses of an all-drag bridal shower, an erotic spinning class, and - all of 90 seconds into the proceedings -- naked yoga. Don't forget to bring your wipe-down towel".[5]

Writing for The New York Times, Jeannette Catsoulis called the film "a surprisingly endearing romantic comedy that explores gay relationships with low-budget verve".[6]

According to Dennis Harvey of Variety, the film is "[a s]lick, low-budget mix of sexiness, quasi-camp and sitcom-style dramedy".[7]
