| Film4Catherine BraySupremely well-intentioned, low-budget British comedy which, with all the will in the world, a likeable cast can't quite power to greatness. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterIt will all slide over painlessly when it turns up on television. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawWe get one or two outrageous sight gags and massive "getting progressively drunk" montages, and some neatly managed comedy on the laugh-with/laugh-at borderline. |
| Empire MagazineAngie ErrigoNot quite Four Weddings-funny but always entertaining and endearing in equal measure. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyIt gets by more on goodwill than inspiration, but it’s lightly amusing and well played. |
| Radio TimesStella PapamichaelExcept for a very silly ending, his film goes down as easily as a glass of bubbly. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerLow on big laughs but remains enjoyable thanks to a consistently amusing script and strong comic performances from a talented cast, though it's also a little too predictable in places. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonThis homegrown romcom is pretty much doomed from the start. |
| Total FilmMatthew LeylandWhen it’s not being shrill, obvious or awkwardly wistful, Nigel Calendar Girls Cole’s comedy is quite funny. |
| CineVueJoseph WalshThe comedy is never hearty enough to be truly enjoyable, only managing a chain reaction of titters at best. |
