The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeNov 11, 2013
A self-aware laffer that indulges in rom-com contrivance up until the point it judo-flips them to its own ends. Read full review

The DissolveMike D'AngeloNov 6, 2013
As contemporary romantic comedies go, it’s by no means an embarrassment, ranging from politely bland at its worst to very nearly inspired at its best.

There’s some interesting ideas floating around about identity, manhood, and what it means to connect with someone in an over-connected world, but A Case Of You (named for a Joni Mitchell song that’s not actually in the film) never actively explores them.

Village VoiceInkoo KangNov 5, 2013
A Case of You is a disappointing romantic comedy that aspires to social relevance until the third act, when it settles for pat Freudian revelations. Read full review

Kat Coiro's film takes the comedy of discomfort to new levels of cringe-worthiness by presenting. Read full review
