The beats and trappings are all standard-issue, but the gags are funny enough, often enough, to offset such routine proceedings. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
An above-average number of laugh-out-loud set pieces compensate for the resulting wobbly narrative. - 70
Variety
If the emotional mathematics don’t quite add up, enough diversion is provided by pic’s broader comic setpieces to paper over the cracks. - 60
The Guardian
The result is funny and plausible, with a fair bit of newly modish Bridesmaidsy bad taste, though I kept getting the sense that the romcom template meant Mazer couldn't really let rip with pure comedy pessimism and cynicism in the way he might have liked. - 60
The Telegraph
In the end it amounts to not much, but in the moment I laughed a lot. - 60
Empire
The jokes are strong and delivered by a very talented cast, but the heart isn’t there. It’s easy to laugh, but hard to care. - 60
Total Film
In a film with obvious ambition, though, it’s a shame that it resorts to formula so quickly. - 50
The Dissolve
