Village VoiceMark HolcombMar 8, 2011
The film's final plot twist is easy to spot well before it arrives, but that doesn't detract from its crafty, heartfelt, and surprisingly sound affirmation of getting hitched. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineWade MajorMar 21, 2011
The real star of the film, however, is Shapiro who, despite treading on marginally derivative subject matter, demonstrates a solid sense of style and a refreshingly delicate hand with actors. Read full review

Monogamy doesn't manage to find anything particularly new to say, and says it very, very slowly. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeMar 7, 2011
A painfully dull plunge into the suffocating self-absorption that seems to be killing modern romance. Read full review

New York PostKyle SmithMar 11, 2011
Plotwise, the movie can (like many a Brooklynite) barely be bothered to comb its hair. Just when the pace needs to pick up, everyone sits around discussing fruity drinks. Read full review
