Boxoffice Magazine
A superb ensemble cast makes the most of the comedy's numerous detours and storylines. - 80
Variety
Old-fashioned as that might sound, there's a fresh, insightful feel to this multigenerational love story. - 80
Time
The movie's biggest surprise is the revelation of Gosling as cunning comedian. - 75
Orlando Sentinel
As a Steve Carell comedy, it works. He plays the victim well, the guy romantically in over his head ever better. Surrounding him with people this funny - Ryan Gosling, who knew? - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
The movie suffers perhaps from too many characters and subplots but all the actors appear to have fun with their characters. - 70
New York Magazine (Vulture)
The script, by Dan Fogelman, is unusually and gratifyingly bisexual - i.e., it boasts scenes from both the male and female points of view! - 70
The New Yorker
A genial, messy comedy of marital discord and mismatched lovers. - 70
Village Voice
Shooting on grainy, high-speed film stock with an often handheld camera, working with a suite of actors who are game to both play light and silly and dig deep, Ficarra and Requa lend a naturalism to highly contrived, patently absurd situations.
