Empire Magazine

The music's great, if predictable, and the talented young cast give it their all. We just wish that Cera would try something new.

Rated: 3/5

Wendy Ide

The Times (UK)

This music-powered hipster romance is as simple and undemanding as a three-chord pop song. It's as corny as rhyming "moon" with "June".

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Despite being loosely sewn together by random events, the film wins us over with a romantic payoff

them.

Sinking into one of his most endearing roles, Cera is characteristically awkward as Nick.

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast

While Cera delivers the same performance as always, at the time this felt fresh. Dennings is charming, the addition of extra MacGuffins is a smart move by screenwriter Scafaria and Ari Graynor absolutely steals the show as Caroline.

A good young people flick from the millennium. Well acted, cool story, and decent dialogue. I'm 55 and watching now so it's past my era but worthy of a spot in your collection. Nick and Nora has good chemistry.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, os personagens são fracos, a história é ruim, com cenas ruins, como a cena em que do nada o personagem do jay baruchel pega no braço da garota e pega do nada e foda-se assédio puro, e ainda teve outras cenas ruins, o elenco é ruim e não ajuda em porra nenhuma e várias partes do filme são desinteressantes, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

The soundtrack was good and the acting was believable however the story didn't do much for me. I usually love single night plots and adventures this one falls short. They eventually find there beloved band "fluffy" in time for there 6am show and the ending wasn't kind of predictable and bland. I think this is micheal ceras worst rom coms

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
