Watching Jenkins and O'Hara go at it (in more ways than one) is especially terrific fun.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

The tone is irresolute, as if Zicherman, a self-proclaimed A.C.O.D., hadn't fully resolved his feelings before spinning them into this lumpy comedic drama.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten

Promising premise goes nowhere.

The film is too broad to be discerning, but there are a few laughs here and there, thanks to a solid comedic ensemble.

"A.C.O.D." may leave a slightly sour aftertaste. As a look at the state of modern monogamy - or at least our enduring if misguided faith in it - it's refreshingly acerbic.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
