Slant MagazineR. Kurt OsenlundOct 10, 2012
While Jonathan Lisecki is well in tune with his film's niche market, his knack for comedy, both visual and verbal, is universally hilarious. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyOct 10, 2012
Gayby doesn't break a lot of new ground in the rom-com or parenthood fields, but its agreeable balance of humor and sentiment makes it worth adopting. Read full review
