Katz, with the help of an inspired cast and an emotionally intelligent and mature screenplay, has succeeded in depicting the trials and tribulations of adults who, all for respectfully different yet equally weighty reasons, often make a three-year-old the most mature person in the room.

Adult Beginners is funny and warm and sweet enough without overdoing it. Again, it's not groundbreaking, but it shakes things up a little. Read full review

A kinda funny, kinda charming movie about finding out what really matters. Read full review

Katz is much more interested in observing Jake's newfound emotional core — and probably a bit too confident that a moist-eyed Kroll can turn this quite likable but slight family reunion into something more touching. Read full review

Adult Beginners presents itself less as humor than as a study in Gen-X sociology and psychology. What happens when people raised in relative ease and who expect to live an even better life than their parents are left emotionally unequipped for reality? It might be touching. It might even be important. But it’s not exactly a lot of laughs. Read full review

A sometimes clever but ultimately clichéd comedy. Read full review

There’s nothing here that actually digs deep enough into any of the films’ surface-level concerns — maturity, responsibility, parenting, siblinghood — to snap the movie out of its own slumber. Read full review

"Adult Beginners" has enough going on to work as a mostly unchallenging time-passer, and nothing more.

An easy comfortable film that is some what forgettable but for the most part feels genuine even when the ending begins to become predictable. The two leads make the story work.

Even though I expected a bit more from this movie as I like the leads, to me it was quite forgettable, and somewhat boring at moments.
