Although it's not flawless, Jessica Alba's character is seemingly pointless and the script does tend to drag on at times, but overall, it's a very enjoyable film.

Ephemeral as a Snapchat message.

| Original Score: C | Apr 8, 2014

A decent script is brought to life because of the strong supporting players in this new comedy.

| Original Score: 3.0/5 | Dec 24, 2013

May be one of the grimmest movies you'll see this year.

| Oct 31, 2013

...a busy movie for one running under 90 minutes, with people like Amy Poehler and Jessica Alba popping in with no-destination characters, and poor Mary Elizabeth Winstead wasted in the wings as Carter's patient girlfriend.

| Original Score: C | Oct 18, 2013

In spite of good intentions, A.C.O.D. fails to capitalize on its compelling 'Adult Children of Divorce' platform to present viewers with equally captivating insights.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 18, 2013

It's often very funny, and tries to have some heart, too. But it doesn't straddle that line all too well ...

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 18, 2013

Watching Jenkins and O'Hara go at it (in more ways than one) is especially terrific fun.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 18, 2013

Has a few moments that shine, but the rest is shockingly leaden and clumsy, feeling around for a heart it hasn't earned and for laughs that seldom arrive.

| Original Score: D+ | Oct 17, 2013

N.O.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 17, 2013

It's more a situation than a story, but a pretty funny situation.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 17, 2013

Hums along nicely as it diagnoses what Dr. Judith calls 'the least-parented, least-nurtured generation—ever.' It's funny without being broad, thanks to a fine ensemble...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 12, 2013

I really wanted to like this film because its cast is generally terrific in everything they do , but only Richard Jenkins and Catherine O'Hara really stand out here. A near-miss and sadly blah comedy that should have been smarter.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 11, 2013

It feels like an act of therapy rather than an organic story. Fortunately, the strong cast of comedy experts make it very funny.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 11, 2013

The film is too broad to be discerning, but there are a few laughs here and there, thanks to a solid comedic ensemble.

| Oct 11, 2013

There are a few moments of painful insight here that some may find uncomfortable, but the script by Modern Family writer Ben Karlin strives to keep things lighthearted. It makes for an uneven experience, but also an enjoyable one.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 11, 2013

"A.C.O.D." may leave a slightly sour aftertaste. As a look at the state of modern monogamy - or at least our enduring if misguided faith in it - it's refreshingly acerbic.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 10, 2013

Not only is the movie just so-so, but the parts themselves aren't much.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 10, 2013

Just hearing brilliant actors like Richard Jenkins and Catherine O'Hara at each other's throats or watching remarkably likable stars like Adam Scott and Mary Elizabeth Winstead figure out their relationship has enough charm.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2013

The movie's messy, predictable, occasionally sitcom-shallow, but it's blessed with a cast of pro farceurs-including Amy Poehler and Jane Lynch-who put a spin on almost everything they do.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 10, 2013
