Blah
Strange... no real "conflict", which made the film pretty boring in general.

A quiet charmer
Often these films with big stars and massive promotional budgets only guarantee that you’ve seen the best jokes – all two of them - in the trailer before you even see the movie. But De Niro and Hathaway’s characters are so likeable and the direction and script so good that they pull it off.

Though it felt more like a snapshot into someone's life rather than a movie. It's an enjoyable and worthwhile watch if you're in need of a happy movie.

The Guardian
pressA morass of wackiness, a chain of sequences shot in a flat and predictable manner that range from tedious to idiotic.
Los Angeles Times
pressA better, funnier and more considered movie than much of what passes for nonfranchise studio filmmaking, even as it shows a world almost exclusively white, straight and upmarket.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThe movie offers more frustrations than rewards to discerning viewers of any age or gender.
Herald Sun

FilmInk
pressCapitalises on the believable chemistry between Hathaway and De Niro to produce a rom com that is genuinely satisfying.

pressAs you'd expect, Meyers handles the material with assurance and charm, and there's fun to be had in the odd-couple dynamic at her film's heart.
