Then again, jaunty music needlessly punctuates a multitude of scenarios here.)

1.5
Happening serves up an inedible, steaming school lunch entree of cutesy cynicism with a cherry of ersatz sentimentality on top.
Variety
1.5
The problem doesnt stem so much from Greers helming but rather the painfully unfunny script by Gary Lundy.
The Hollywood Reporter
3.3
Casting Common here is smart, since hes one of those actors who can instantaneously radiate empathy.
Paste Magazine
1.5
Common and the lovely Reid, however, do enjoy a nice familial chemistry.
2.5
To help the cause, Greer calls in numerous favors to stock the ensemble with famous faces, and the star power doesnt hurt.
Blu Ray
1.5
This ensemble film has a slight edge to compensate for its blaring score and comedic misfires.
Chicago Reader
3.0
Sounds funny, right But it feels like writer Gary Lundy didnt know what kind of movie it was.
Az Central
0.5
The title of this sad simulacrum of an entertainment is intentionally ironic, and yet still feels like a bad and desperately unfunny joke.
4.0
Adults act like impulsive, self indulgent and misguided children.
Flim Threet
1.5
And a bachelor (Anders Holms Christian) believing his middle class life isnt enough.
The Film Stage
1.9
Even if the above factors were clicking on all cylinders, the wrong touch in the editing bay could sink the moment.
Chicago Sun Times
2.5
Overstuffed, undercooked, contrived and tone deaf despite a talented cast.
Nyc Movie Guru
1.5
The film is certainly not a colossal failure, but it is something of a disappointment.
Third Coast Review
0.0
Who truly has fond memories of Weekend at Bernies) Cue tonal misfires and a wealth of bumptious music.

Shes so nice, even she doesnt want audiences to suffer too long through her underwhelming movie.
