Lizzy Caplan and Alison Brie lend the lightweight rom-com "Save the Date" more than its fair share of watchability. But the film is never truly interesting.

Top critics, in their words
Rotten
While Caplan works well in theory as an antiromantic-comedy heroine, director and co-screenwriter Michael Mohan just doesn't give her enough to do.
Sara Stewart, New York Post
Rotten
[It] may sound like Sitcomland, but Mr. Mohan's sensibility - visually, comically, in terms of character - is more naturalistic, more Sundance. It's just not particularly sharp.
Rachel Saltz, New York Times
Rotten
A merely adequate addition to the raft of romantic comedies for those pushing 30 without adult lives to call their own.
Ella Taylor, NPR
Rotten
Save the Date is romantic comedy with aspirations to do something new. That's admirable but it isn't enough.
