The film proves that neither gross-out gags nor pseudo-sophisticated Woody Allenisms are necessary to make a smart, funny comedy. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segel's latest collaboration offers a more relatable rom-com scenario while generating laughs that should still satisfy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" fans. - 60
Arizona Republic
Unfortunately, stretching things out dilutes the charms of Segel and Blunt, which are considerable. - 50
Variety
It puts Emily Blunt in a wedding dress, which will appease the hopeless romantics in the house, even while making the institution of marriage seem ridiculously obsolete. - 40
