	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"'A Happening of Monumental Proportions' is a perfect example of a bad movie happening to good actors (...) None of the intended jokes land"	NEG
United States	Leah Pickett Chicago Reader	"This ensemble film has a slight edge to compensate for its blaring score and some awkward comedic misfires"	NEU
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Everyone’s having a bad day in this misfired ensemble comedy, and viewers will share the feeling."	NEG
United States	Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"It’s sort of a dry, dark comedy but it’s also sort of a sweet, sentimental drama; rather, it occupies an uncomfortable middle ground where nothing resonates in either direction (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Abbey Bender LA Weekly	"[It] is weighed down by stilted dialogue and an insistent avoidance of any emotional high stakes"	NEG
