Critics Consensus

Lea Thompson proves as capable behind the camera as her daughters are before it in , though its charming sensibilities are at times overshadowed by an inconsistent script.

Leah Pickett

Chicago Reader

Given that the most affecting love stories involve the sisters and their mother, the few scenes with this close-knit trio are the film's highlights.

Los Angeles Times

Not everything works, but the Deutch sisters are a delight in every scene they share, and Madelyn has an unusual screen presence and a feel for the absurd that marks this 27-year-old as a talent to watch.

A good-looking yet slim and meandering hybrid of a romantic comedy, family drama and coming-of-age story.

Rated: 2/4

Third Coast Review

The Year of Spectacular Men felt like a nonstop exercise in trying my patience -- from the unbearable, rambling, pointless screenplay to every actor in this film trying to convince us that something deep is going on here.

Spectrum Culture

The Year of Spectacular Men is populated by such a charming, lovable core cast that it remains entertaining despite some of its less effective storytelling tics.

Rated: 3/5

Unfortunately, the script was just too uneven for me to recommend.

wasn't sure what i was getting into at first, but i really enjoyed this movie. i am sure that it will be relegated to the 'chick flick' genre and brushed off, but it was funny and sweet and oddly relateable. i'd recommend it.

I thought it was a nice movie, nothing surprising but I didn't go into it thinking it would be. Solid acting from the cast, worth taking a look.

The acting is great and the dialog smart, the story is a bit uneven but it is a lot of fun. It is also wonderful to see the family together.

My sister in law and I watched it together tonight,.. we have so many questions. Why was the guys being interviewed for is my main one. Like what even happened. It was ok but not worth the time to watch it.

If you're a 20-something in a dysfunctional family, struggling to find purpose, and meandering through life, you'll be delighted by its over the top script.
