The PlaylistMarya E. GatesFeb 9, 2023
Both breezy and deeply emotional, Brosh McKenna’s directorial debut could be a leader in the rom-com renaissance the movies have so desperately needed. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleFeb 10, 2023
Your Place or Mine has a feeling of old and new about it. It’s an old-fashioned romantic comedy in that it depends almost entirely on the charm of its principal actors, Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher, yet it comes up with a new way of telling its story. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperFeb 9, 2023
In some ways, it’s not much, but in the ways that count, it’s more than enough. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonFeb 9, 2023
We can all see where this is going. In fact, if it didn’t go there we’d feel cheated, even though the route—as navigated by writer-director Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote “The Devil Wears Prada” and co-created “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”—is as roundabout as the performances and casting are straightforward.

The Hollywood ReporterLovia GyarkyeFeb 9, 2023
It’s a breezy charmer — the kind of movie these obits have been mourning over the years. The film returns to the genre’s blueprint and sticks with it. There are a couple of instances of subversion, moments when Your Place or Mine winks and pokes fun at itself. But for the most part it doesn’t want to surprise or be more clever than the viewer; it aims to please, and in doing so helps re-energize the romantic comedy. Read full review

The A.V. ClubManuel BetancourtFeb 9, 2023
Your Place Or Mine isn’t that invested in crafting a world that looks anything like ours; it’s arguably more interested in giving its supporting cast’s ace one-liners (which, I’ll admit, is where the film sporadically got me chuckling). Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFeb 10, 2023
The actors may not have perfect chemistry but they are as likable as they’ve ever been and it’s not a chore to spend 110 minutes with them even though one can’t help but wish the fantasy is better realized and the ending doesn’t feel rushed and unearned. Read full review

The Associated PressMark KennedyFeb 9, 2023
The film allows Witherspoon and Kutcher to show off their naturally funny sides, especially when they’re fishes out of water. But many of the scenes drag on and sometimes the exposition is chalky. Read full review

Rolling StoneK. Austin CollinsFeb 13, 2023
Cut out the extra layers of nothingness piling up in the margins and you’ve got the kind of surreal tension that only romantic comedies, that dying but not dead genre, can offer: a case being made for romantic love, even when it doesn’t exist. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayFeb 9, 2023
What saves the picture is McKenna’s knack for finding something real and relatable within quirky comic characters like a hyper-organized overprotective mother and a swaggering cool guy who makes a living telling other people how to succeed. Read full review

IndieWireKate ErblandFeb 9, 2023
Brosh McKenna knows her tropes, and when she finally, finally brings rom-com vets Witherspoon and Kutcher together IRL (for an airport-set love declaration, of course), we’re reminded why these things work so well, how cozy and comfortable the inevitable it is, how wonderful to wrap everything up with a big bow, even if we saw that gift coming from a mile (or 20 years) away.

Paste MagazineAurora AmidonFeb 13, 2023
More than anything, Your Place or Mine will probably just make you wish you’d watched an old Kutcher or Witherspoon flick this Valentine’s Day, instead. Read full review

RogerEbert.comChristy LemireFeb 10, 2023
Your Place or Mine begins in 2003, and it feels like the kind of superficially agreeable and instantly forgettable romantic comedy that came out around that time. Read full review

CNNBrian LowryFeb 10, 2023
Your Place or Mine will probably do just fine for Netflix, standing out from a pack of Valentine’s Day-timed rom-coms because Witherspoon is her, and Kutcher is him. But those awkward red-carpet photos weren’t the only part of this exercise that didn’t quite work, whatever place one happens to watch it. Read full review

SlashfilmLex BriscusoFeb 9, 2023
The stakes aren't very high in this film, and there are a few cardinal cinema sins at work here, but overall, Your Place Or Mine ends up being a decent time by coasting on its merits. When it's strong, it's pretty strong—and when it's not, it shows. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattFeb 9, 2023
What should be breezy, featherweight fun — Reese! Ashton! A screenplay by the lady who wrote The Devil Wears Prada and 27 Dresses! — instead turns out to be oddly hollow, a meandering and synthetic approximation of classic rom-com canon with too little romance or comedy in its strained, familiar formula.

ColliderTania HussainFeb 9, 2023
Your Place or Mine has a decent premise with a great cast and is fun at times with moments that are sweet and showcase great potential for an enjoyable rom-com, but it never hits the mark and only works in pieces. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinFeb 18, 2023
Your Place or Mine is thoroughly mild, considerate and well-behaved. But where’s the fun in that? Read full review

EmpireJohn NugentFeb 10, 2023
An instantly forgettable, paint-by-numbers romcom, despite the obvious charm of Witherspoon and Kutcher — worthy of watching neither at your place nor mine. Read full review

Vanity FairRichard LawsonFeb 10, 2023
Your Place or Mine occasionally gives off a glimmer of something interesting, but all too quickly snaps back to the featureless drudgery that has, sadly, come to define its genre. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeFeb 9, 2023
Even as glossy run-of-the-mill formula, it’s never even close to being as funny or romantic as it needs to be, devoid of fizzy one-liners and hampered by the pair struggling to muster up chemistry during phone conversations that never feel as lived-in as they would for friends with such extensive history.

In a funnier world, Zoë Chao and Tig Notaro are starring in their own romantic comedy together. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreFeb 10, 2023
Zoe Chao puts on a clinic on “the funny new BF of the leading lady” as a rom-com trope in Your Place or Mine, an exceptionally mild-mannered farce set up as a Reese Witherspoon/Ashton Kutcher vehicle. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanFeb 9, 2023
Your Place or Mine is an outrageously benign movie, which may not sound like much of a criticism. But it’s so benign it’s innocuous. There’s no tension, no comedy with any bite (except for the dry one-liners of Tig Notaro as the best friend who’s there to give advice), no romantic friction. Read full review

The New York TimesAmy NicholsonFeb 9, 2023
No one in this movie is playing anything near a human being, although Kutcher occasionally resembles one when he lowers his head, crinkles his eyes and chuckles. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedFeb 13, 2023
Even for a third-rate farce with two stars who appear together onscreen for no more than a total of five minutes, it’s derivative and preposterous—worse than a rejected TV pilot, and about as romantic and funny as a root canal. Read full review
