Critics Consensus

It's nowhere near as inventive as its reverse rom-com premise might suggest, but I Give It a Year is disarmingly frank -- and often quite funny.

Leba Hertz

San Francisco Chronicle

"I Give It a Year" is a smart farce that would make Hugh Grant and his fans proud.

Rated: 3/4

Toronto Star

Mazer's previous onscreen experience is undeniably obvious. No penis is left unfilmed, no crude scene prevented from going on far too long.

Rated: 2/4

Stephanie Merry

Washington Post

In addition to some trite set pieces, writer-director Dan Mazer serves up nothing more than conspicuous cynicism masquerading as comedy.

Rated: 1.5/4

Flick Feast

Only occasionally funny but mainly awkward with its quick and easy humour, I Give It A Year doesn't deliver the new style of British romantic comedy that we were waiting for.

Rated: 1.5/5

I Give It a Year certainly doesn't give us its all.

I Give It A Year may not be that "summer fun for the whole family" type of movie, but if you're looking to break the ice on a first date, I'd say it's the perfect film.

When i saw the preview with Stephan Merchant's hilarious best man speech, I was looking forward to another British comedy. But overall, it seemed a lot longer than it was. Some funny moments, but it felt like it dragged and didn't go anywhere at times. But certainly not a typical predicable romantic comedy ending. Certainly it's somewhat original in that way.

Had to skip through certain bits of. It was so desperately awkward, like a competition to try and make you switch off.
