United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Dutifully hits the marks of its genre, but it is also about the unpredictability of life and the everyday challenges of love. The sensitivity and honesty with which it addresses those matters is a pleasant surprise"	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"This seems like another breakthrough for Blunt, who demonstrates an ample gift for physical comedy. She and Segel make an inspired team (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"Between that opening proposal and the film's title, you know exactly what's going to happen, and the result is a comedy-drama almost completely free of dramatic tension (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"A lively, original, and scattershot-hilarious ramble of a Judd Apatow production"	POS
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"It's a very good movie. If a tough editor trimmed it from 124 minutes to 90, it would be wonderful"	POS
