Reviews
"[T]he movie is an enjoyable grab bag of messy life circumstances....It's a comedy about falling from love, and grasping your way back to happily ever after." -- Grade: B+ (Entertainment Weekly)

"This unhurried comedy is devoted to realistic relationship issues....It's rare to see main characters as grounded and plausible as Tom and Violet are, and when they finally find their way back into each other's arms, it feels earned." (Movieline)

3 stars out of 5 -- "Blunt and Segel supply the angst and heart at the movie's core. Their easy chemistry is undeniable..." (Total Film)

"Segel, one of comedy's tall men, makes sure to utilise the comic possibilities that his big body provides. He gets in a perfect throwaway pratfall in an icy driveway..." (Sight and Sound)
