- 70The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThe Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberNo one who sees the film will feel it breaks any new ground, but as a cinematic equivalent of comfort food, it goes down easily.

- 50The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyA mediocre movie, starring two great actors who’ve certainly done worse, that benefits from baseline competence and lowered expectations.

- 40The DissolveKate ErblandThe DissolveKate ErblandRomantically uninspiring and comedically unstable, And So It Goes is a poor excuse for a rom-com, even one that continually plays by the rules of the genre and has two major stars to keep it bouncing along.
