Leave your thoughts about A Case of You.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfSome jokes land as intended, and there's a weirdly star-studded supporting cast, but Corio isn't brave enough to make the movie matter, eventually submitting to painfully labored formula to land this underwhelming effort. |
| Los Angeles TimesAnnlee EllingsonA Case of You is perfectly enjoyable as far as indie rom coms go — just not particularly original. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe movie is about as generic as modern romantic comedies get. |
| Today's Zaman (Turkey)Emine YildirimA Case of You can't exactly achieve its romantic ambitions, yet it's still an easy watch. |
| Screen InternationalMark AdamsA sweet and rather familiar rom-com, A Case Of You is carried along thanks to engaging led performances from Justin Long and Evan Rachel Wood. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohSimply not enough happens, and the screenwriters might have been wise to add a subsidiary relationship plotline to the mix, focus more on Sam's attempts at more serious writing, or just give those hungry, generous and funny actor pals more to do. |
| Paste MagazineBrent SimonIts third act conflict and resolution all seem motivated not by the characters on screen chafing at change, growth or surrender, but instead by scenes from other movies. |
| AwardsCircuit.comClayton DavisWith all the obvious flaws, A Case of You is still very entertaining and enjoyable. |
| The DissolveMike D'AngeloAs contemporary romantic comedies go, it’s by no means an embarrassment, ranging from politely bland at its worst to very nearly inspired at its best. It could have been so much more, though, had its makers been prepared to grapple with the genuinely thorny, surprisingly incisive idea at the movie’s center. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterWhile this unrelentingly midtempo movie milks Brooklyn for its chic, it manages to denude it of its color. |
