Critic Reviews

The A.V. Club - Mike D'Angelo

Sep 3, 2014

Aggressively derivative though The Longest Week is, however, it’s clearly the work not of a lazy thief, but of a raw talent who’s still struggling to find his own voice. In the meantime, his impressions are pretty darn impressive. Read full review

McClatchy-Tribune News Service - Roger Moore

Sep 2, 2014

The considerable charms of Jason Bateman and Olivia Wilde get a considered workout in the lightly charming New York romance The Longest Week. It’s a droll comedy, with a droll narration. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter - Justin Lowe

Sep 1, 2014

A blithely derivative romantic comedy that isn’t without a certain smug charm. Read full review

New York Daily News - David Hinckley

Sep 4, 2014

Just like the character of Conrad, the movie coasts on confidence without ever proving it has a soul. Read full review

Village Voice - Katherine Vu

Sep 3, 2014

Lacking any significant character arc or motivation, The Longest Week is little more than a series of insipid conversations between bored aristocrats who snark at each other in monotone. Read full review

RogerEbert.com - Peter Sobczynski

Sep 5, 2014

Not even the able actors that Glanz somehow managed to rope into his project can do much with the draggy story and the vapid characters that they have been given to play. Read full review

The Dissolve - Nathan Rabin

Sep 4, 2014

The film’s constant nods to the artificiality of its narrative highlight its precious, cloying phoniness rather than subvert it. Read full review

It hit pretty close to home for me in a lot of ways so I found it kind of inspiring. I think if you like these actors and if you are a fan of the Wes Anderson style this is worth watching with boxxy software. It's enjoyable enough.

I'm watching Jason Bateman in Ozark which is probably his best role in years. So watching him in this mediocre comedy was a low blow of insatisfaction.
