Critics Consensus

Pretty to look at but dramatically inert, My Oxford Year may have the right pedigree as a romantic dramedy but flunks out on the fundamentals.

There's no reason to bother with "My Oxford Year" unless you're a YA romance completist.

What should be a tender, feminist-minded story centered on a young woman rediscovering her dormant childhood dreamer turns into a middling melodrama about being with a cute guy in desperate need of her rescue.

They are all very attractive people, as are Dougray Scott and Catherine McCormack as Jamie’s parents. They just aren’t given a lot to do.

My Oxford Year transforms after an hour into a different beast altogether; not necessarily one that you’d signed up for.

Not only is this just sappy, bad writing... but it also sends the message that it’d be better for a disabled person to die than to live out the rest of their lives with a disability.

My Oxford Year may be a work of accidental genius, but it’s a work of genius nonetheless. You will squirm, you will laugh derisively, you will cringe. By the end, though, you will be forced to admit that you secretly enjoyed every moment.

Such a horrible actress. She has one face and it's just to be a sex icon. But even that falls completely flat. She's just a barely pretty face. Her character has no heart or personality. She's supposed to be someone smart and tough but she just comes off naiive and annoying . The other characters could have had hope if they were developed more. Just an awful written main character with no depth and played by someone with the same amount of depth. Zero.

What a disappointment. Corey was really great and most of the cast did what they could with what they were given. But Sofia? 💀

Shallow, forceful and predictable. Not worth it.
