The combustible possibilities surrounding a same-sex marriage involving partners of different nationalities is turned into rather tepid stuff in I Do.
Robert Koehler, Variety
Overview
A gay Brit living in New York is deprived of his immigration status, and risks losing his family and life in the U.S. He marries his lesbian best friend to remain in the country and stay with his family, but things get complicated when he meets the love of his life and is forced to make an impossible choice.

Uneven comedy/drama tackles hot button issues like gay marriage and immigration.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

A sweet, sincere, yet ultimately tepid story ...
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Someday, when gay Americans enjoy full equality, we can all hope their sexuality will finally stop being used as fodder for dopey, hopelessly contrived dramas like "I Do."
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Rotten
In a better movie you might play along with contrived plot twists and fake obstacles, but watching "I Do," a movie with thin characters and a languorous pace, you find yourself talking back to the screen.
Rachel Saltz, New York Times
