You'd be challenged to laugh once during a two-hour-plus slog in which much of the intended hilarity resides in frequent utterances of the F-bomb, venison and Wham! posters.
May 01, 2012
An exemplary modern romantic comedy, personal and symbolic, goofy and substantial, tightly imagined yet loosely strung, wise in bewilderment.

[It] feels poignant and real in a way few raunch comedies are.
September 27, 2012
It's a bit over-stuffed, but the narrative does come full-circle and successfully balances charming comedy gags grounded in a memorable and contemporary love story.

Probably should have just focused on the Chris Pratt and Alison Brie characters.

This is a watchable but rather drab romcom which relies too often on Apatow-school cliché.
May 01, 2012
Like Apatow's "Funny People," the film is an intentional hybrid: half gag comedy, half open-ended exploration of everything that can go wrong -- and occasionally right -- between two people whom nature, if not society, means to be together.

More often, the movie reduces everything to sitcom levels of tidiness and routine.

The Jason Segel-Emily Blunt romcom has a cold, standoffish first act but ultimately warms up, becoming a genuinely sweet romantic comedy.
April 28, 2012
A fun, entertaining picture, and another credit to Segel's rising career as a writer and star.
September 17, 2012
You'll definitely laugh and it's hard to resist the adorableness factor of Blunt and Segel.
April 30, 2012
A charming, funny, reactionary mating comedy from the Judd Apatow factory...
