	Media	Author	Review
		Leslie Felperin Variety	"Skillfully customizing a traditional chassis and then souping it up with bawdy, 'Bridesmaids'-style humor, 'I Give It a Year' (...) updates (...) Working Title’s romantic-comedy (...) style for the 2010s"
		Megan Lehmann The Hollywood Reporter	"An above-average number of laugh-out-loud set pieces compensate for the resulting wobbly narrative"
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"In the end it amounts to not much, but in the moment I laughed a lot (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The result is funny and plausible, with a fair bit of newly modish Bridesmaidsy bad taste, though I kept getting the sense that the romcom template meant Mazer couldn't really let rip with pure comedy pessimism and cynicism in the way he might have liked (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Olly Richards Empire	"The jokes are strong and delivered by a very talented cast, but the heart isn’t there. It’s easy to laugh, but hard to care (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"This painfully awkward product fails on almost every level"
