Orlando SentinelRoger MooreMar 23, 2011
Less mopey and downbeat than TV star Zach Braff's "Garden State." But it succeeds in many of the same sweet ways and is similar enough to warrant labeling Radnor "Zach Braff: The Next Generation." Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleMar 10, 2011
It's an observant and heartfelt film, with turns of dialogue that show that writer-director Josh Radnor really can write. Read full review

MovielineElvis MitchellMar 7, 2011
Radnor is an overprotective first-time director, and the final effect is like watching a film with elbow pads, a helmet and training wheels. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttMar 1, 2011
It might even live up to that title: When it ends, you wouldn't mind a bit more, please. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerMar 5, 2011
The happy endings in "HTYMP," as sweet as they are to experience, seem more engineered than inevitable. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayMar 3, 2011
HappyThankYouMorePlease has a different vibe than "Garden State" or "HIMYM." It's more like a late-'80s/early-'90s Woody Allen film, after Allen stopped separating his comedy and drama. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzMar 10, 2011
There is a sweetness to Radnor's character and to his film. What there is not is a sense of urgency, of a desire to find out what happens next. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineRay GreeneMar 1, 2011
The script is intermittently literate and frequently funny, the young cast (headed by Radnor) is highly appealing. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumMar 2, 2011
With very little modification, the relationship woes of the six chirpy young New Yorkers in this self-absorbed indie could be reworked into episodes of TV's "How I Met Your Mother." Read full review

NPRMark JenkinsMar 3, 2011
This is among the better Allen knockoffs of recent years, even if a few of its riffs seem hazardously off-key. Read full review

Boston GlobeWesley MorrisMar 31, 2011
The movie is generic and shallow in its glimpse of the love and sex lives of a handful of young New Yorkers. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsMar 10, 2011
The cast is not the limitation here. The limitation, and I found it to be a drag on this aggressively audience-pleasing indie, relates directly to its premise. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanMar 4, 2011
That other actors - especially Akerman and Tony Hale, wonderful as a tentative couple - fare better suggests Radnor should give directing another shot. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesSam AdamsMar 3, 2011
Treating their problems like they're the most important crises in the world is what people in their 20s do, but that doesn't mean we have to go along for the ride. Read full review

Village VoiceNick PinkertonMar 1, 2011
"Arrested Development's" Tony Hale nearly overcomes the gently worthless script, playing Annie's dork suitor, and convincingly transforming himself from toad to prince. Read full review

VarietyJohn AndersonMar 1, 2011
With the exception of Akerman's Annie, the characters are uniformly annoying, their stories insubstantial and the tone one of smug contentment. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyMar 17, 2011
A case of when bad scripts happen to good actors. Given its similarities to a bygone sitcom, one might call it "Friends" without benefits. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenMar 4, 2011
It is no wonder that the insufferable romantic comedy Happythankyoumoreplease, set in New York, looks and sounds like a flop pilot for a television sitcom. Read full review

Time OutEric HynesMar 2, 2011
Radnor tries to pin a tail of significance on this donkey, but he seems content with light comedy and mere proficiency. To which we can only reply: Nothankyounomoremilquetoast-please. Read full review

New York PostKyle SmithMar 4, 2011
Isn't quite insipid, although if it were a little better, it could be. Read full review
