Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Thraves lets his story drag as if aimless drama will somehow reflect the aimlessness of his characters' lives. It doesn't; it simply bores.
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
It does have something to say to those patient enough to stick with it.
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
Has such a prosaic, straightforward approach, it's sublime.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post

Yes, this is another English dramedy about the demands of friendship, but it's in a far more realist key than the posh, slick Hugh Grant films.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
