With the help of his twin sister and his best friend, Matt hatches a plan to change the course of his life.

It's funny enough, and Grace is an engaging actor, always making a good impression but never quite getting over the hump to become the star it seems like he ought to be.
A pleasant-enough all-in-one-night comedy, featuring a protagonist facing the classic "Graduate"-like existential dilemma of post-college paralysis.
The movie misses the Hughes sensitive-raunch sweet spot, though a game supporting cast hits bull's-eyes on lesser targets.
As on their TV collaboration, "That '70s Show," the time period never extends much farther than hairdos, costume design, and soundtrack hits.
The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt
Michael Dowse's aggressively unfunny film which seeks the lowest common denominator in nearly every scene.
Boxoffice Magazine by Mark Keizer
It's only sporadically amusing and it's certainly not original.

Take Me Home Tonight, believe me, you've already seen.
Village Voice by Nick Pinkerton
It's not a total wash. Faris's ample talents are squandered with a should-I-stay-or-should-I-go romantic dilemma, but there's just enough of Demetri Martin doing a prick act, and Fogler excels as a Rabelaisian dynamo.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
It does possess a certain backward-glancing innocent appeal.
Orlando Sentinel by Roger Moore
A ten-years-too-late comedy.
