"Displaying his usual mixture of broad, sitcom-style humor and soapy melodramatics, it's an entertaining if hokey effort that his target audience will eat up."
— Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter"...offers a positive, if melodramatically heightened, portrait of upper-middle-class African-American life, one broadly appealing enough to satisfy even the Nancy Meyers set, if only they'd give it a chance."
— Peter Debruge, Variety"...nothing if not more of the same."
— Rob Hmanick, Slant Magazine"The movie's like an old sofa, overstuffed and misshapen, but so familiar that it gives comfort all the same."
— Sam Adams, Onion AV Club"...serves up speeches about trust and fidelity and rolling with the punches and blah blah blah. But it does so with so little energy that the actors might as well be saying the words blah blah blah."
