Newshub (NZ)

A generous, healthy serving of much hilarity, and certainly worth the ticket price.

Rated: 4/5

Empire Magazine Australasia

Some great moments of comic timing provide for a pleasant, if flawed, bittersweet comedy of errors.

Rated: 3/5

FILMINK (Australia)

Despite rough patches, this film delivers a surprisingly absorbing take on the romantic misadventures of a group of thirtysomethings.

Urban Cinefile

The film's shifting, unsettled tone makes it less than satisfying, even while admiring some its strengths. Sex is ever present, and not always to the film's advantage

Standard rom-com fare set in New Zealand. Some funny moments. And some relatability to the story.

I'm a sucker for drama comedies like this, so I really enjoyed it, and I loved the cast. Not the most original story in the world - at times it feels like a comedic version of 'We Don't Live Here Anymore' - but that doesn't stop it from being a good film.

Mildly interesting, but ultimately nothing new here, and went nowhere. Funny in parts, but that's about it.

Quirky New Zealand comedy that has its moments but never really decides where to go. Could have been better.
