Critics Consensus

Anna Faris is game, but she can't salvage this middling, formulaic comedy.

James E Decently funny with a cute but basic message about self acceptance. Easy for a mindless couple hours Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Patrick F This is an okay comedy. The story itself is lame. It could have used several more drafts of the script. The film has a talented cast including Anna Faris, Emma Stone, Kat Dennings, Beverly D'Angelo, and Chris McDonald. Unfortunately, D'Angelo and McDonald don't factor into the story enough. The film feels like a studio ordered a zany college comedy with hot girls and didn't care about the script. The characters aren't memorable, there is no great development for any of them. The growth we do see from the characters is rushed and feels unearned. Anna Faris carried the movie and her style of comedy is the only thing that really landed throughout the film. It has its moments and is okay, but it's not a film worth watching a second time. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Gabe W It's a happy Madison production all these movies in another 10 ,15 years are gonna be cult classics. They all have some sort of Quirky funny sense to them and there just amazing Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Larry K Some funny parts but was not that good Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review The H a not so bad chick flick Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Hilário I watch it 10 times a week, and I always think it's wonderful. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
