Nick Schager The Dissolve The way the film hews to tiresome conventions is itself a buzzkill, but worse is its sheer lack of energy[.] Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 13, 2014 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times There's nothing sophisticated or groundbreaking here, but the movie is a moderately good entry in the bro-grows-up genre. Feb 12, 2014 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Various catastrophes ensue, although hilarity does not. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 7, 2014 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews A mostly underwhelming comedy... Rated: 2/4 May 20, 2020 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com The dismal writing featured here makes the Farrelly Brothers look like Oscar Wilde. Rated: D Feb 27, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

nick s Talented actors. I did find that the setups were pretty obvious... the story lacked much spontaneity and surprise. There were a few funny lines here and there. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Alex B Some good moments but there's a LOT better options out there Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Eddie M my friend thought it was the worst movie ever but I found it funny and entertaining, and really dumb and immature but that comes with the territory Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/12/22 Full Review Audience Member I honestly enjoyed it. it's silly, funny, a lil raunchy humor at times, but the heartwarming lifetime friends thing was nice. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/22 Full Review corkball There is someone for everyone, or so this movie would have you believe. Labine is about as perfectly cast as I can imagine for his role, and both he and Punch do a really good job of hamming it up here - most of the rest of the cast is there as a foil for these two. I felt like no actual dialogue was written, and the director just said 'make up some raunchy stuff'. I laughed REALLY hard in some spots even though some people might refer to me as a 'barry'. Some of the material was just over the top gross and no longer funny. It is really hard to walk that line between shockingly funny and just gross, but more often than not, I felt they hit it right. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. I'm not a big fan of either Tyler Labine or Lucy Hall, but they do quite a bit of heavy lifting in this, and it's not that they don't do a good job, but if you don't like them, you're not going to like this. The other "sane" characters are really more of a background set for the events of Barry's rom-com, allowing a structure of motivations and weird adversarial obstacles. If you like Labine and / or Hall, then check this out, I think you'll be delightfully surprised. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
