Best two reviews:
1) Slant Magazine - It's a simple story of simple people intentionally told in simple terms, and the only issues with which it's concerned are those of pure personal connection. (Rating: 75) Read Full Review >
2) Total Film - Kirk, who wed Fischer in 2010, perfectly captures her all-thumbs charm, and ubiquitous character actor Messina steps into the lead with ease, showing off some impressive mime skills to boot. (Rating: 60) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
2) Village Voice - Tim eventually evolves out of smugness, but unfortunately, the film merely trades it for sappiness. Fischer, meanwhile, imbues Janice with a wounded soulfulness that cuts right through the clichés. The less said about a hideously wigged Topher Grace as a smarmy self-help author, the better.

3) Boxoffice Magazine - Fischer and Messina may make a cute pair, but amidst such contrivances, they're powerless to make this RomCom seem like anything more than a creaky retread of obvious indie clichés. (Rating: 20) Read Full Review >
