It's more like watching an extended sitcom than a movie.

Rated: 2/5

Set in Los Angeles, this unfunny comedy succeeds only in perpetuating the worst stereotypes about that city.

A likable concept that deflates into conventionality...

Rated: 2/4

For a movie that hopes to tickle, it actually finds surer footing expressing deep emotions, pinpointing the terror and grief that comes when pleasurably distracting routines are abandoned.

Rated: C

in the end it still feels like it's written by someone who doesn't actually have kids or hasn't come to the realization of sacrifice yet

Rated: 2.5/5

Tampa Bay Times

Conveniently coinciding with the buzz for Krysten Ritter's sitcom Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, this fitfully amusing comedy could serve as the pilot for her next TV gig, or some other quirky Zooey Deschanel clone.

Rated: C

Almost half way into the movie....so want to like it...but annoying about the lying...just tell the guy the TRUTH! Ok, finished. Moral of the movie...honesty works.

It seems to be made by a misogynistic director, indeed misanthropic, instead (s)he is a woman. Characters or situations that should be fun while they are horrible and that's it. (Mauro Lanari)

I thought this was a super sweet movie. I really enjoyed it. I can't believe it even made me cry! I don't really think it deserves such a low rating, I didn't feel like it was trying to be anything that it's not: a fun, easily watchable romcom.

Glad I didn't listen to the critics OR the audience score on this one. I thought it was a cute film and I liked it.
