A fun, occasionally flabby romp that should find its audience. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerSep 27, 2013
True love beckons in the guise of a dingbat played by Julianne Moore and all is right with the world. As Jon’s father, a man whose lifeblood is yelling, Tony Danza is very funny. He makes you understand what his son is escaping from. Read full review

To Gordon-Levitt’s credit, he neatly sidesteps the moralizing message his film seems to be building toward.

Time OutKeith UhlichSep 24, 2013
As with many a first feature, Gordon-Levitt’s so-so directorial debut is pumped up with ambition. The early scenes, heavy on caricature, promise to puncture much of the cocky illusions surrounding modern relationships. Read full review
