The Hollywood Reporter
Labine and Punch invest their performances with enough anarchic comic inventiveness and genuine chemistry to make their characters’ courtship and relationship issues funnily entertaining. - 60
The New York Times
There’s nothing sophisticated or groundbreaking here, but the movie is a moderately good entry in the bro-grows-up genre. - 58
The Playlist
Someone Marry Barry is a reasonably entertaining argument that good performers can enliven weak material. - 50
The Dissolve
The way the film hews to tiresome conventions is itself a buzzkill, but worse is its sheer lack of energy, as Pearlstein stages serious and/or heartfelt conversations that go on twice as long as necessary and treat the characters as more than the two-dimensional caricatures they actually are. - 38
RogerEbert.com
But because the movie is at heart as fake-sentimental as any other such motion picture, or greeting card, or what have you, there's a lot of backpedaling after, say, a random attempt to milk laughs out of human trafficking.
