Critic Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore

Nov 11, 2013

A self-aware laffer that indulges in rom-com contrivance up until the point it judo-flips them to its own ends. Read full review

The Dissolve - Mike D'Angelo

As contemporary romantic comedies go, it’s by no means an embarrassment, ranging from politely bland at its worst to very nearly inspired at its best. It could have been so much more, though, had its makers been prepared to grapple with the genuinely thorny, surprisingly incisive idea at the movie’s center. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Annlee Ellingson

A Case of You is perfectly enjoyable as far as indie rom coms go — just not particularly original. Read full review

The New York Times - Andy Webster

Nov 6, 2013

While this unrelentingly midtempo movie milks Brooklyn for its chic, it manages to denude it of its color. Read full review

The Playlist - Rodrigo Perez

Sep 27, 2013

There’s some interesting ideas floating around about identity, manhood, and what it means to connect with someone in an over-connected world, but A Case Of You (named for a Joni Mitchell song that’s not actually in the film) never actively explores them. Instead, it delves into generic rom-com and ropey cliché to little comic effect. Read full review

Variety - Dennis Harvey

A lot of interesting, funny performers aren’t very interesting or funny in director Kat Corio’s A Case of You. Read full review

Slant Magazine - Andrew Schenker

Kat Coiro's film takes the comedy of discomfort to new levels of cringe-worthiness by presenting. Read full review

I liked the premise for the movie, and was very typical of real life as we all need to be ourselves. I am a fan of Justin Long and like most of his movies. This one took a while to grab hold and the movie kept trying to stay the course. Eventually it did take, and redeemed itself, so ifI liked the premise for the movie, and was very typical of real life as we all need to be ourselves. I am a fan of Justin Long and like most of his movies. This one took a while to grab hold and the movie kept trying to stay the course. Eventually it did take, and redeemed itself, so if you decide to watch the movie give it time to develop and have some patience. I think the movie had so much to offer and a lot of opportunity to be great was wasted, but again in the end it prevailed and turned out to be a decent movie.… Expand

Evan Rachel Woods is fine, always likeable and Justin Long is playing once again the same guy he always does in all his movies, always annoying. Try it if you're into simple romantic comedies.
