Reviews & comments
Variety
pressCarter's existential crisis simply isn't interesting enough to sustain the movie.
Time Out
pressToo sluggish for farce and too glib for a trenchant social satire... several sessions short of a breakthrough.
The Guardian
pressAmusing but formulaic man-in-crisis comedy has neither a fully realised protagonist nor a clear message.
The Dissolve
pressIt's neither consistently funny nor poignant enough to make the most of its impressive cast.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThe comedy will strike a chord with viewers who've had to "be the adult" in relationships with divorced parents.
