What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith Outrageously dirty humour. Could've done with a good edit and an actual point. | 5 | |
Die Burger Laetitia Pople Jy moet van Apatow hou. | 10 | |
Cape Times Todd McCarthy New comedy doesn't quite hit the mark. | 10 | |
The Citizen Leon van Nierop This film confronts your sensitivities with the power of a steam engine thundering through a tunnel. | 12 | |
24.com Justin Hess It's not a bad film at all but your enjoyment of it will depend on which camp you fall into. | 10 | |
Box Office Amy Nicholson Fans to Judd Apatow: ''We want a divorce'' | 3 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Yields some of Apatow's most personal observations yet on the feelings for husbands, wives, parents, and children that we categorize as love. | 15 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Simply put, if you enjoy scenes of people bickering, yelling and acting like spoiled brats at times, this might be right up your alley of dysfunctional family fiction. If not, it's about as much fun as watching a couple rise to a slow boil of marital trouble before your eyes. | 7 | |
