Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 6d
One of those movies in which the characters and situations feel so contrived and inauthentic that you find yourself shaking your head in befuddlement. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Jun 11
Holmes and Jackson, happily, have enough natural chemistry to keep this uncomplicated construction afloat: If neither Liz nor Andrew is a fully dimensional character, they’re filled out by the personalities and backstories of the actors playing them.

1/5
For fans eager to see Holmes and Jackson together again, I’d recommend skipping Happy Hours altogether and revisiting Dawson’s Creek. Not only is it the better story, but it’s also the far more entertaining use of your time. Go to Full Review Giovanni Lago Next Best Picture Jun 8
3/10
"Happy Hours" not only doesn’t work, but it isn’t worth the energy to get worked up over, as the romantic dramedy finds itself under the camouflage of many unremarkable films in this genre that will surely slip one’s mind as soon as the credits roll. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Jun 7
Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson (former co-stars of Dawson's Creek) still have undeniable on-screen chemistry in Happy Hours, an utterly charming romantic drama from writer/director Holmes, about the reunion of two former high school sweethearts. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
