	Media	Author	Review
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"An artful blend of tenderness and sharp, clear-eyed observations. Its characters talk like real people -- who also happen to be smart, appealing and thoughtful (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
		Kyle Smith New York Post	"Josh Radnor is much like Woody Allen, except for the talent (...) This movie badly needs a laugh track to cover up the awkward silences that follow Radnor’s attempts at cleverness (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"
		Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"The wittiest, most perceptive campus comedy in years."
