Critics Consensus

It's nowhere near as inventive as its reverse rom-com premise might suggest, but I Give It a Year is disarmingly frank -- and often quite funny.

"I Give It a Year" is a smart farce that would make Hugh Grant and his fans proud.

2/4

Mazer's previous onscreen experience is undeniably obvious. No penis is left unfilmed, no crude scene prevented from going on far too long.

1.5/4

In addition to some trite set pieces, writer-director Dan Mazer serves up nothing more than conspicuous cynicism masquerading as comedy.

1.5/5

Only occasionally funny but mainly awkward with its quick and easy humour, I Give It A Year doesn't deliver the new style of British romantic comedy that we were waiting for.

I Give It a Year certainly doesn't give us its all.

I Give It A Year may not be that "summer fun for the whole family" type of movie, but if you're looking to break the ice on a first date, I'd say it's the perfect film.

Horrible. One of my cousins fell asleep due the terrible dialogues. I opened a rottentomatoes account just to give this movie a 0.5 star

I give it a year is funny and entertaining. Especially the ‘almost orgy’ scene with Chloe.

It definitely has romantically bleak themes but it's uniqueness allows for some hilarious comedy.

It had some lite and funny moments but unfortunately some gross and awkward moments as well. Considering the cast I was hoping it would be a little better. I can't recommend it.

A funny story about a quick marriage. One of the best rom coms of the 2010's. The scene with pictures of nat and josh during Christmas was the best. Tim Treakle

Disappointing

Sep 9

Was sold due to its amazing cast. Unfortunately, its not enough to sustain the film. Its a series of awkward scenes of unlikable characters in provocative but unfunny scenes. Didnt feel the slightest investment in any of the characters happiness.
