The Jason Segel-Emily Blunt romcom has a cold, standoffish first act but ultimately warms up, becoming a genuinely sweet romantic comedy.
April 28, 2012
A fun, entertaining picture, and another credit to Segel's rising career as a writer and star.

This is a watchable but rather drab romcom which relies too often on Apatow-school cliché.

More often, the movie reduces everything to sitcom levels of tidiness and routine.

Like Apatow's "Funny People," the film is an intentional hybrid: half gag comedy, half open-ended exploration of everything that can go wrong -- and occasionally right -- between two people whom nature, if not society, means to be together.

You'd be challenged to laugh once during a two-hour-plus slog in which much of the intended hilarity resides in frequent utterances of the F-bomb, venison and Wham! posters.

[It] feels poignant and real in a way few raunch comedies are.
September 27, 2012
It's a bit over-stuffed, but the narrative does come full-circle and successfully balances charming comedy gags grounded in a memorable and contemporary love story.
April 30, 2012
A charming, funny, reactionary mating comedy from the Judd Apatow factory...

You'll definitely laugh and it's hard to resist the adorableness factor of Blunt and Segel.

Probably should have just focused on the Chris Pratt and Alison Brie characters.
May 01, 2012
An exemplary modern romantic comedy, personal and symbolic, goofy and substantial, tightly imagined yet loosely strung, wise in bewilderment.
