Catherine Bray, Film4A diverting generational three-way dialogue between those barely out of their teens, those in their mid thirties and those well north of fifty.

Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies (Australia)
Josh Radnor is an actor who's not content to be just that.

Craig Mathieson, The Sunday Age
Radnor's problem stems from his casting prowess: Jenkins, Janney and Olsen are all so pleasurably adept in their parts that the film's star suffers by comparison. Jesse needs more than Josh Radnor's glibness.

Radnor (How I Met Your Mother) has directed and written an astonishingly good screenplay filled with delectable insights from three different age groups. He is also excellent as the film's protagonist
