The film never quite manages to figure out what it's actually about.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
The movie is predictably sentimental at its root, but it's also meant to be comedy, partly resting on Mr. Williams's energetic but failed attempt to play a jerk.
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
Rotten
Every scene between two people comes off like drunkenly shot video of a play rehearsal gone horribly wrong.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Considering its outlandish premise, what the film lacks are any outlandish scenes-or, if not outlandish, then at least ones in the realm of the creative.
