I love the actress, Kristin Ritter and honestly I watched it for her Kate Bosworth stuck out like a sore thumb and then help pass the time however, the whole movie was so cringe. Definitely not worth ever watching a second time.

Almost half way into the movie....so want to like it...but annoying about the lying...just tell the guy the TRUTH! Ok, finished. Moral of the movie...honesty works.

It seems to be made by a misogynistic director, indeed misanthropic, instead (s)he is a woman. Characters or situations that should be fun while they are horrible and that's it. (Mauro Lanari)

I thought this was a super sweet movie. I really enjoyed it. I can't believe it even made me cry! I don't really think it deserves such a low rating, I didn't feel like it was trying to be anything that it's not: a fun, easily watchable romcom.

It's more like watching an extended sitcom than a movie.

Cliched premise rescued by some sharp one-liners and an endearing cast.

Set in Los Angeles, this unfunny comedy succeeds only in perpetuating the worst stereotypes about that city.

For a movie that hopes to tickle, it actually finds surer footing expressing deep emotions, pinpointing the terror and grief that comes when pleasurably distracting routines are abandoned.

Rated: C

in the end it still feels like it's written by someone who doesn't actually have kids or hasn't come to the realization of sacrifice yet

Rated: 2.5/5

Tampa Bay Times

Conveniently coinciding with the buzz for Krysten Ritter's sitcom Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, this fitfully amusing comedy could serve as the pilot for her next TV gig, or some other quirky Zooey Deschanel clone.
