Leave your thoughts about How Do You Know.
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovIn a tour de force of unassuming verbal and physical comedy, Paul Rudd has given us the big screen's first answer to Arrested Development's Michael Bluth. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithThis neurotic comedy tiptoes from one boring setback to the next, bottling its issues in schmaltz, and thus, costing the film its heart. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonA bit slow to get started, and it's nowhere near as funny as "The Hangover." But it'll make you smile. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomOverall, "How Do You Know" is a cozy diversion, an upscale date-night movie. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Corey Hall...intermittently enjoyable, but like its characters too neurotic and uptight to get out of its own way. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceI'll take the movie's distinctive warts over the pasteurized engineering of current comedies any day of the week |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsIt's relaxed without being sloppy, or patronizing, and in particular Witherspoon and Lemmon - sorry, make that Rudd - bring charm to burn. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinThat's How Do You Know in a nutshell: preposterous characters lurching through painfully contrived scenarios. |
| DeadspinWill LeitchI'm not sure the movie will end up earning back its stars' huge salaries, but you definitely can't argue they didn't earn them. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyIt is a keenly observed movie about loss of identity and finding love, in which Brooks serves up funny-ouch humor with slapstick heartbreak. |
