Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: [An] inane, preposterous and stupefying film ...
Rotten: The movie criminally wastes Sam Neill and Rosamund Pike in barely there supporting roles, and the picture has exactly two tones: grim and gooey. They do not coexist harmoniously.
Rotten: Four characters meet while planning to commit suicide and decide to annoy one another instead in this tacky Nick Hornby adaptation.
Rotten: A horrible misfire of a movie which starts off badly and just keeps getting worse.

don't listen to the critics
Wrong as always. This is an incredibly sweet and charming movie that made me laugh and cry. I am going to read the book now. Highly recommended.
loved it
great cast brings nick hornby's book to screen. 5 stars.
better than the book!
i'm a big nick hornsby fan and this was maybe the best film of one of his books yet. all 4 of the characters were great and it was both hysterical and emotional. i want to see it again.
