New York Daily NewsJordan HoffmanAug 8, 2013
I Give It a Year has all the outrageous, embarrassment-based moments you’d expect from one of the creators of “Borat.” Indeed this film has one of the best charades gags ever.

An above-average number of laugh-out-loud set pieces compensate for the resulting wobbly narrative. Read full review

Boston GlobePeter KeoughAug 15, 2013
Though Mazer’s ambition is laudable, he has not yet integrated the comedy of manners into the comedy of no manners. Read full review
