	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[It] is surprisingly insightful, as buddy comedies go, and it has a good heart and a lovable hero (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Carina Chocano Los Angeles Times	"A surprisingly sweet and funny ode to male friendship and middle-aged love."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[A] genial comedy (...) At nearly two hours this is too long (...) There are some great lines, though (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU

United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Crude, sophomorically homophobic but frequently funny"	NEU
United States	Nathan Rabin AV Club	"[It] is often outright hilarious when it's not being all heartfelt and sensitive"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The script, which Carell wrote with first-time director Judd Apatow, keeps firing off rude, raucous laughs (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"Overlong and slightly muddled, this is nevertheless an enjoyable showcase for the superb Steve Carell (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
