Critic Reviews

• William Goss, Film.com

  A solid debut for Zicherman, and a worthy vehicle for Scott and company.

• Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

  A.C.O.D. is like some wild and woolly French family drama that hums along in fast motion.

• John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter

  The comedy will strike a chord with viewers who've had to "be the adult" in relationships with divorced parents.

• Geoff Berkshire, Variety

  Carter's existential crisis simply isn't interesting enough to sustain the movie, even at a scant 87 minutes, no matter how likable the leading man.

• Shaun Munro, What Culture

  Disappointingly opts for broad humour over genuine drama in its second half, but anyone who has been through a similar situation will find it undeniably resonant.

• Ed Gibbs, Guardian [UK]

  Stu Zicherman's amusing but formulaic man-in-crisis comedy has neither a fully realised protagonist nor a clear message.

• Chris Bumbray, JoBlo's Movie Emporium

  It's a lot of fun -- and I'm sure a lot of A.C.O.D's will find a lot to love about it.

• Allison Loring, Film School Rejects

  Zicherman, who also directed the film, has brought together a strong comedic cast, but he also utilizes them well to create a funny film that even those of us who are not A.C.O.D.s (see: me) can relate to.

• Tim Grierson, Screen International

  A.C.O.D.'s smooth establishment of its sharp, funny characters can't sustain the film's momentum.
