	Author	Review
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"A pleasing walk in the park for all involved, not exactly profound, but appealing to both long term fans of the franchise and accessible to newcomers."	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"It overlooks the faults and misbehavior of its eccentric characters to express a lighthearted optimism that doesn’t feel forced or manipulative. It is in love with life."	POS
United States	John DeFore The Washington Post	"Although a couple of moments make clever use of the characters’ history (...) more often the references to the past feel like self-absorption"	NEU
United States	Charles Grant Variety	"Bringing an appreciative outsider’s perspective to the sights, sounds and polyglot energy of New York, Klapisch and his collaborators ensure that the two hours whiz by decoratively and entertainingly."	POS
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"The movie is so relentlessly self-satisfied in its celebration-of-life wisdom that the charm of its particulars never grabbed me with any kind of consistency (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"For all its goofiness and silliness, the story bops amiably and fluently along (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
