Feels secondhand and contrived. Go to Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times 06/07/2013
2/5
Whether stuffing its graceless hero into a clown suit on a construction site or sending him on a first date with an offbeat neighbor to give a safe-sex talk at a home for the elderly, the film is funny only on paper, if that. Go to Full Review Sherrie Li Village Voice 06/05/2013
Anything heartbreaking or somber is touched upon with the barest of brushes or converted into a comic Band-Aid, leaving you stuck on the cusp of the last stage of grief. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/06/2016 Filme de sesão da tarde. See more 03/09/2015 This is the best comedy I have seen this year. I see by reviews that I am alone in this opinion, but that's never stopped me before. What is probably true is that if you watch it with someone else, one of you will HATE it. This movie deals with real issues in a funny and frank way. I liked all the characters and I laughed through the WHOLE movie. There are many tender moments that were wasted on the other reviewers, and the humor is quirky, like all the characters. There's some rough language, and certainly more than one adult theme. Not for kids, but for an adult that doesn't want the same old romantic comedy, this is an "A+<" IMHO. See more 11/05/2013 How is this movie not bigger? SO good, so funny! See more 08/18/2013 Odd ball romantic comedy that is familiar so if you are in the mood for an off beat rom com then have a watch it is average but I enjoyed the cast and the difference in not using the standard grade actors for this style film. It also doesn't take itself serious good directing. See more 06/09/2013 I found joy watching this See more 04/10/2013 This is going to be great! See more Read all reviews
