	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"Sometimes hits the mark (...) There aren’t enough good jokes in the movie to match the play’s success, but it does have some modest charms"	NEU
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"[It] offers gags aplenty, though the drama never quite connects (...) 'Humor Me' manages to earn its audience’s indulgence, if never its full affection."	NEU
United States	Jason Zinoman The New York Times	"The movie never gets too deep, which is half of its charm. The other half involves the low-key comic performances by a stellar cast"	POS
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"Lopez invests 'Humor Me' with a wonderful casualness of being (...) [Hoffman] is afraid to tread too far out of his comfort zone (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	April Wolfe Village Voice	"Solid casting can’t quite save this predictable rom-com"	NEU
United States	Maureen Lee Lenker Entertainment Weekly	"'Humor Me' sings best in its quieter moments (...) It casts such a lingering sense of warmth over you it becomes hard to resist its effusive charms"	POS
