The film's ending was indeed a happy moment, but not in the intended manner. Go to Full Review

That convention-flouting title misleads: this winsome affair lags lamentably close to the modern romcom average. Go to Full Review
Trevor Johnston Time Out 10/08/2013
1/5
This Scottish romcom is a great advert for Glasgow, but it delivers an awful warning to filmmakers about shooting a script that's seriously unready. Go to Full Review
Jamie Neish CineVue 08/13/2018

It's main problem in truth stems from the fact that Gillan and Webber have no spark between them whatsoever. Go to Full Review
Tracy Moore Common Sense Media 03/18/2015
2/5
Brit romcom about writer's block has brief nudity, cliches. Go to Full Review
Daily Express (UK) 10/11/2013
1/5
Contrived, manic and unfunny the film also flounders because of the lack of chemistry between an awkward Gillan and a wooden Weber. Go to Full Review

Lovely story! :) See more 01/22/2017 It meanders, even more than most average rom-coms. See more @c0urtn3y 12/13/2016 i didn't love it, but the ending was SO super cute. See more 02/06/2016 Good directing and a charming cast lead by a strong lead performance by Karen Gillan and a great supporting roles by Iain de Caestecker and Amy Manson, Not Another Happy Ending is a good RomCom that's great for a date night. One downfall is the script. The script is below average to well below average in some spots (Almost every scene with her father makes you want to cringe), but the cast makes the most out of it and turns it into a respectable movie.
