      Critics Consensus

      Despite its impressive cast and some sharp observations, A.C.O.D. is neither funny enough nor poignant enough to work as a potent comedy or incisive satire.

      Cindy T I really liked this movie. It shows how things can go south, and you haven't really done anything wrong. The main character is tossed around but tries to maintain equilibrium, having had to deal with very chaotic people and chaotic circumstances beyond his control. How he copes is what makes it interesting. He tries to control the people and circumstances and they just roll over him. In the end, his acceptance and learning to deal with the craziness of life is a lesson for all of us. Sometimes life goes to hell in a handbasket. His acceptance of it is the lesson. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Sean S This movie has an all-star cast of comedians, yet the movie isn't as funny as it should be. It does have a few laugh-out loud moments but that is truly it. The plot of the story is simply told when they could have added depth/story to it to really strive home the points they were trying to make. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review steve d I think there was supposed to be to be some humor here, but I didn't see it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review ryan g Fun movie about family dysfunction. The ending is abrupt and doesn't fit the pace of the rest of the movie. Still an enjoyable movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very relatable for children of divorce. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend. I like Adam Scott, and even though he carries the movie, he could only do so much to make the movie better. It's just filled with heavy subjects like divorce, broken relationships, sibling competition, and "why doesn't everyone love me like I want them too", but not really in any of the fun ways. Some of the rest of the cast helps with the moment to moment, but no one is really present long enough to really save the day without adding to the unfunny problems. If you like like non-physical misfortune comedy, then you might actually enough this. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer Watching Jenkins and O'Hara go at it (in more ways than one) is especially terrific fun. Rated: 3/4 Oct 18, 2013 Full Review Richard Roeper Richard Roeper.com Promising premise goes nowhere. Rated: 2/5 Oct 15, 2013 Full Review Drew Hunt Chicago Reader The film is too broad to be discerning, but there are a few laughs here and there, thanks to a solid comedic ensemble. Oct 11, 2013 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy Although it's not flawless, Jessica Alba's character is seemingly pointless and the script does tend to drag on at times, but overall, it's a very enjoyable film. Dec 14, 2018 Full Review Dan Schindel Movie Mezzanine Ephemeral as a Snapchat message. Rated: C Apr 8, 2014 Full Review John Hanlon Big Hollywood A decent script is brought to life because of the strong supporting players in this new comedy.
