Gets bogged down in midlife-crisis cliches.

Attal knows that no matter how adult we feel when we say, 'I do,' marriage is all child's play: jealousy, lies and pure, unconditional love. Perplexing, but not a bad option.

There's nothing much wrong with the film; my complaint is that there's nothing much right about it.

Happily Ever After is never as insightful or as funny as Woody at his best. But the film has a fine-tuned approach to human behavior.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
