	Author	Review
United States	Chris Hewitt Minneapolis Star Tribune	"While it's swell that these actors are getting roles and heartening that 'Maybe I Do' acknowledges that older people remain sexual beings, all four leads have been in better projects that made that same point. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Despite the formidable star wattage and estimable talents on display, 'Maybe I Do' fails to overcome its obvious stage origins, feeling all too schematic and talky"	NEG
United States	Andy Klein AV Club	"You might expect something along the lines of Garry Marshall's holiday films, but you'd be severely disappointed. This has a much simpler and less engaging structure"	NEG
United States	Samantha Coley Collider	"A decent romantic romp (...) Sarandon, Keaton, Gere, Macy, Roberts, and Bracey, elevate the script with a charm that feels entirely natural, and they make these characters shine."	POS
United States	Marya E. Gates rogerebert.com	"Each coupling is as chaste and sexless as an after-school special (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"[It] may appeal to an older demographic (...) The actors here give 'Maybe I Do' more than it gives them. But they get just enough to give performances that are considerably substantial and satisfying"	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"[It gives] way to musty monologues on marriage —material that even the seasoned cast is unable to freshen up"	NEG
United States	Nina Metz Chicago Tribune	"Gere is the movie’s saving grace and somehow makes it all seem worth it"	NEU
United States	Fran Hoepfner The Wrap	"There is simply no need for 'Maybe I Do' to be a film; it certainly isn’t shot like one (...) 'Maybe I Do' is far less interested in humanity than it is a pastiche of humanity"	NEG
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"Harmless, sweet, and brief, this is a nice little date movie that delivers exactly what it advertises"	POS
