Critics Consensus

An impressive showcase for writer-director-star Leah McKendrick, Scrambled takes a humorous yet heartfelt approach to emotionally charged subject matter.

A charming comedy-drama. [Full review in Spanish]

San Jose Mercury News

McKendrick’s feature speaks with a strong voice, and one that we don’t hear expressed with such realism, faults and all. It’s a funny comedy that unlike so many others stays true to itself, even in the end.

Rated: 3/4

Nellie's world may feel scrambled, but McKendrick knows where she is going and how to take us with her.

Scrambled may not break new ground in the indie rom-com genre, but it shows that Leah McKendrick is a confident voice behind and in front of the camera.

Rated: 3/5

McKendrick’s a dynamite writer and a deceptively great performer. When her direction catches up, watch out.

Rated: B+

The comedy-drama is about the pressure there is on a woman to have a child while she can.

I completely enjoyed this movie. Very funny, very thoughtful. Acting was superb by all, and Leah McKendrick in the lead was outstanding. I would recommend seeing this movie.

I really was enjoying the first 30 to 45 minutes. I thought it was slow and took a while to find its rhythm. The guy in the back testing out all of the seats certainly didn’t help either. After that I actually started to like it a little. Went from two stars to 3 1/2 overall, I really like the actor who plays the dad

The rhythm of this film demands extra effort to get through its first half. Consider it a sign. I insisted on seeing it through to the end—but I shouldn’t have. The main character's delayed maturation—being 34 but acting like 20—adds to the sluggish pacing, making it difficult to stay engaged. While the theme explored is relevant, the execution fails to make it compelling.

I'd forgotten that I'd seen this movie less than a year ago when 'forced' to watch it a second time yesterday... yes, it's very much forgettable as soon as you've seen it. From the in-your-face cliched and boring sex scenes, to the tonal lurches between attempts at raunchy comedy and maudlin scenes of self pity for the protagonist, it wears its threadbare story very thin indeed... so much so that it utilises scenes of revisiting eight - yes, 8 (!!!) - past lovers to see where the protagonist may have 'gone wrong' and to see if 'there is still a chance with any of them'. Writer/director/star Leah McKendrick gave it her best shot and most critics loved this... so don't let me dissuade you from seeing it once (or twice if you forget you've seen it before).
