Leave your thoughts about L!fe Happens.
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonL!fe Happens is a blonde-brunette buddy comedy with a charmless cast (Rachel Bilson plays the third roomie, a Christian virgin) and banter as flat as Deena's favorite no-strings imperative, "Bone and bolt." |
| AV ClubScott TobiasThe indie rom-com/sitcom L!fe Happens is a case study in how bad movies can turn an ordinary, relatable situation into a grotesque distortion with only a passing resemblance to the way actual human beings live and interact with each other. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAided by a nimbly voluble script by Kat Coiro and Ritter, it emerges as an amusing kaleidoscope of contemporary urban angst and romantic aspirations. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfFor a movie that hopes to tickle, it actually finds surer footing expressing deep emotions, pinpointing the terror and grief that comes when pleasurably distracting routines are abandoned. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallLife Happens still has the obligatory relationship cracks and repairs to wade through but it's finally tolerable. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekNot particularly good...but some may find it acceptable as an impoverished Los Angeles-set analogue to 'Sex and the City.' |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyIt's a trifle, but at least it doesn't star Katherine Heigl. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanDirector Kat Coiro - who co-wrote with Ritter - spices up the formula just enough to keep us watching, while Bosworth adds versatile edge to the BFF banter. |
| Richard Roeper.comRichard RoeperCliched premise rescued by some sharp one-liners and an endearing cast. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedIt all sounds dreadful, like the pilot for another brainless comedy series on network TV, but it grows on you. |
