United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Rose Byrne and Nick Kroll play a sibling duo navigating their shared and respective crises in this warmly appealing dramedy"	POS
United States	James Rocchi The Wrap	"An indie comedy so generic it might as well come with a plain label and lettering in Comic Sans, 'Adult Beginners' is more minor splash than major breakthrough"	NEU
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"A slightly sourish cocktail of bad behavior, wry observation, and commentary on how difficult modern life can be, especially for characters who feel entitled to a better one"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A likable but thin family-values comedy"	NEU
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"It's harmless and mild and likable, but it's also a toothless comedy that should have had some bite"	NEU
