	Author	Review
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"A Garden State for grown-ups (...) this funny and emotionally satisfying tale of thirtysomethings trying to come to terms with life itself could become a crossover hit"	POS

United States	Scott Bowles USA Today	"A heartfelt if heavy-handed sermon about chasing dreams, forgiving sins and honoring Woody Allen. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
