	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"From production values to performances to the script, everything here is more polished than we've come to expect from Shelton's lovably loose films."	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Keira Knightley gives a delightfully loose-limbed performance in Lynn Shelton's polished sixth feature."	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A very likeable, often funny comedy that fails to dig deep enough into its questions of maturity and commitment."	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It’s frisky and cheerful (...) But it isn’t a very good movie, mainly because, like its heroine, it’s reluctant to make up its mind about what it wants to be"	NEU
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"The unavoidable obstacle is that the perpetually elegant Knightley does not belong. Not at a prom, not furtively partying in a parent’s basement and not, alas, in this movie (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Stephanie Zacharek Village Voice	"Though Laggies is clearly well-intentioned (...) the film is awkward in ways that are sometimes charming and sometimes off-putting"	NEU
