"Men, Women & Children" is crowded with characters and subplots, a few of which resonate - but more often, an individual's story seems lost in the cyberflurry.

It's like a collection of shared and traded Instagram posts. Revealing the telling moments of individual lives in snapshots leaves an itch to dig deeper.

In trying to be a big, important movie, "Men, Women & Children" is about none of the above.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten
Men, Women & Children attempts to achieve the tone of Reitman's early films, pirouetting between behavioral levity and dark melodrama, yet it often falls flat.
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
