A breezy, well-paced diversion, amusing rather than scintillating yet clearly personal.

This uneven romantic comedy is firmly in the Zach Braff–ian mold: It features a group of thirtysomething men who are so terrified of growing up that they behave semi-moronically for the majority of the film.
The boys' laddish catchphrase -- "Shut up!" -- is particularly irritating, especially since they never do.

A grab bag of sitcom jokes that work about 20% of the time.

Trite, sententious and generally unfunny.

Lacks any of the socio-economic or political concerns of "The Big Chill." Indeed its shallowness is reflected in one character's abiding concern with his receding hairline.
Fortunately, there is Molly Shannon as the money manager's disgruntled wife, giving a selfless, robust performance. Bracingly astringent in an unlikable role, she almost turns a potential liability into the film's salvation.

It's all a case of been-there, done-that, although the singing is nice. Still, do we really need another movie with thirtysomethings who ache to re-live their college years? C’mon, guys, grow up!

The dialogue is brightly self-conscious, and sometimes it clicks. Just as often it curdles into an entitled whining.
