Critics' reviews

"Dutifully hits the marks of its genre, but it is also about the unpredictability of life and the everyday challenges of love. The sensitivity and honesty with which it addresses those matters is a pleasant surprise"

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"This seems like another breakthrough for Blunt, who demonstrates an ample gift for physical comedy. She and Segel make an inspired team (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"Between that opening proposal and the film's title, you know exactly what's going to happen, and the result is a comedy-drama almost completely free of dramatic tension (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"

Ty Burr: Boston Globe
"A lively, original, and scattershot-hilarious ramble of a Judd Apatow production"

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"It's a very good movie. If a tough editor trimmed it from 124 minutes to 90, it would be wonderful"

Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune
