Critic Reviews

Justin Chang

Surfing the crowd in Altman-lite style, pic skims the surface entertainingly but goes limp in its stabs at seriousness, especially in the final scenes, which all but drown in emotional confrontations and hasty happy endings. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Neither as dull nor as insufferably smug as it could easily have been. Read full review

Jami Bernard

The drama never gets too deep or the comedy too funny in this L.A.-centric story that feels more like a pilot for a "Friends"-style series. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Yet another movie dedicated to privileged self-involvement; just once, it would be nice to observe the early-adulthood traumas of, say, some plumbers or pipe fitters. Surely they have friends, too. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

Sets out to be a baby "Big Chill" but plays out like an unsold Fox pilot. Read full review

Mark Olsen

Wants to be an honest, earnest look at the difficulties of growing up and moving on, but it remains stuck in such a fantasy-laden milieu that the characters never feel particularly real, and their problems seem phony and arbitrary. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

There are bachelor and bachelorette parties, as well as much misbehavior, in this glossy and unconvincing little flick, receiving a vanity booking on the way to video. Read full review

This movie was amazing. I was at the premiere in L.A. and I was not sure what to expect at first because I know there was a tight budget, but the cast was amazing and the first time director seemed to know exactly what he was doing. Everyone should go see this film!

It was pretty standard comedy. The characters were all stereotypical and cliché, the movie was predictable and there was some unnecessary drama , but the acting was good (especially Ethan Embry, he made every scene he was in a lot better), the movie was entertaining and it was fun to watch.It was pretty standard comedy.

It's not the best comedy about marriage out there, but it's still pretty good.… Expand
