The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeFeb 12, 2020
Erskine, with her earthy chuckle and precision-tooled comic timing, is the real discovery here. She’s a smutty, sniggering joy in the role and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Read full review

Plus One isn’t a knock-off of one of the greatest rom-coms ever, it’s a deserving successor. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedJun 14, 2019
Incurable romantics seeking a fresh look at love contemporary-style could do a lot worse than Plus One. This charming little independent film, by the first-time writing-directing team of Jeff Chan and Andrew Rhymer, also introduces two vibrant new stars in Jack Quaid and Maya Erskine as Ben and Alice.

The weddings themselves are a hoot, shrewdly observed, witty, but genuine. Read full review

Plus One is the latest evidence (see also: “Always Be My Maybe”) that the romantic comedy is making a long-awaited comeback, with some overdue modern tweaks. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonJun 12, 2019
Developments give Erskine a chance to play hurt and wounded, and she handles this as beautifully as she does the light comedy. She’s the plus in Plus One. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliJun 12, 2019
For romance junkies, the film checks all the boxes. For those who want a little more, it comes complete with a smart script, likeable leads, and a willingness to occasionally tweak a trope or two. My only complaint about Plus One is that the ending feels a little rushed. Read full review

Plus One isn’t much more than consistently amusing and sweetly romantic, but in the right hands, those qualities can still feel like a lot. Read full review

Film ThreatLorry KiktaJun 13, 2019
Maya Erskine is hilarious, which is no surprise, given how funny she is on Hulu’s Pen15. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJon FroschMay 4, 2019
Plus One is nothing if not formulaic. ... But what Plus One lacks in originality it at least partially makes up for in warmth and watchability. Read full review

TheWrapRobert AbeleJun 13, 2019
The movie’s real showcase gold lies in the magnetic appeal of screwball comedy natural Erskine (Hulu’s “PEN15”); she’s a major talent who rightly runs away with the movie, conjuring in the viewer’s head a constellation of wishful star turns to come. Read full review

The Seattle TimesRick BentleyJun 13, 2019
The wedding of strong actors with a solid script is what makes Plus One worthy of saying “I do” to enjoying it. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersJun 13, 2019
Plus One might be a romcom squarely from the dude’s point of view, but Erskine is the real breakout star here. She’s raunchy and funny, giving the film a loose, wild feeling in its best moments, though it’s too often predictable in its larger beats. Read full review

Every minute Erskine isn’t on screen is a minute wasted. Read full review

Despite its flaws, it goes down easy and guiltlessly, like cheap champagne. Read full review

It needed bigger laughs and more of the big, ironic comedy that Erskine can clearly deliver. Read full review
