Variety Justin Chang

Surfing the crowd in Altman-lite style, pic skims the surface entertainingly but goes limp in its stabs at seriousness, especially in the final scenes, which all but drown in emotional confrontations and hasty happy endings.

New York Daily News Jami Bernard

The drama never gets too deep or the comedy too funny in this L.A.-centric story that feels more like a pilot for a "Friends"-style series.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Neither as dull nor as insufferably smug as it could easily have been.

LA Weekly Scott Foundas

The script (by Matthew Perniciaro and Timm Sharp) is trite, and the direction so flat that every scene looks like it was shot in a broom closet, but the bright young cast makes things more bearable than they should be.

The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen

Sets out to be a baby "Big Chill" but plays out like an unsold Fox pilot.

Los Angeles Times Mark Olsen

Wants to be an honest, earnest look at the difficulties of growing up and moving on, but it remains stuck in such a fantasy-laden milieu that the characters never feel particularly real, and their problems seem phony and arbitrary.

The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis

Yet another movie dedicated to privileged self-involvement; just once, it would be nice to observe the early-adulthood traumas of, say, some plumbers or pipe fitters. Surely they have friends, too.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

There are bachelor and bachelorette parties, as well as much misbehavior, in this glossy and unconvincing little flick, receiving a vanity booking on the way to video.

jared b. gave it a10:
This movie was amazing. I was at the premiere in L.A. and I was not sure what to expect at first because I know there was a tight budget, but the cast was amazing and the first time director seemed to know exactly what he was doing. Everyone should go see this film!
