A.C.O.D. / Reviews
Time Out
Too sluggish for farce and too glib for a trenchant social satire... several sessions short of a breakthrough.
Full reviewThe Guardian
Amusing but formulaic man-in-crisis comedy has neither a fully realised protagonist nor a clear message.

The Dissolve
It's neither consistently funny nor poignant enough to make the most of its impressive cast.

Hollywood Reporter
The comedy will strike a chord with viewers who've had to "be the adult" in relationships with divorced parents.
