| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranJohnson provides them with plenty of challenges and reasons to question their values, priorities and goals. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyCo-writer/director Chris Mason Johnson's amateur debut effort could be credited with creating a new genre of pretentious triteness tailored to define of the pop slang word "Redonkulous." |
| Time OutAnna KingChris Mason Johnson's ensemble drama could've been just another earnest time capsule about friends in their late twenties; what saves it from devolving into mere mumblecore is a broader-than-average outlook. |
| Denver PostLisa KennedyThe director and co-writer Ishmael Chawla never make their characters venal. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferHas interesting characters and a terrific cast, but feels somewhat contrived, bland and lacking an authentic emotional resonance. |
| Boxoffice MagazineJohn P. McCarthyLacing timeless group dynamics with current concerns, Johnson straddles the line between glossy fluff and serious generational inquiry. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThere's nothing particularly new or moving in this study of friends growing up and apart from one another, which only makes you want to yell, "Move on! College was ten years ago!" |

| New York PostV.A. MusettoChris Mason Johnson directs from a script he co-wrote, giving us little reason to care for his physically attractive, emotionally empty characters. |
| Slant MagazineSimon AbramsThere's something uniquely irritating about the kind of too-serious-for-its-own-good alternative-lifestyle drama subheading that Chris Mason Johnson's The New Twenty neatly falls under. |
