A.C.O.D. Reviews

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

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 18, 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

"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

A syndrome that may provide food for thought but not a lot of laughs.

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

"A.C.O.D." is sitcom-y, but in the sense that it's a neatly arced comedy w/a steady stream of jokes, delivered by a professionals who efficiently hit every punchline.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Oct 4, 2013

There's an undertone of score-settling to this not-so-romantic comedy, a bitterness that's sometimes unpleasant and sometimes wickedly funny.

| Oct 4, 2013

A.C.O.D. is reasonably pleasant and therapeutic and antiseptic and you just wish somebody would bring a chandelier down on somebody else at some point.

| Oct 4, 2013

[A] pointless, meaningless and witless comedy ...

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 4, 2013

"A.C.O.D." is a sharp, dark-ish character comedy, settling for a dry tolerance in its point of view that is very appealing and even admirable.

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

The spectacular cast makes the most of the sharp dialogue and depictions of world-class boundary issues.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 4, 2013

It's downright criminal that Zicherman had the cast he did, stacked with stars from Parks and Recreation, Best In Show, Step Brothers, The Office and Party Down, and yet the result is as flaccid and stale as this.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 3, 2013

Mr. Zicherman needs a better crew, some time with the Criterion Collection and a fresher story, one perhaps not plucked from his own life.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 3, 2013

Even with Adam Scott, Richard Jenkins, Catherine O'Hara, Jane Lynch and Amy Poehler on board, the results are regrettably forgettable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 3, 2013

A spotty comedy with a great cast and a catchy title that falls apart in the final third.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 3, 2013

Any movie starring these justly adored actors is likely to have its share of highlights and both are, indeed, delightful to watch.

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

First-time director Stu Zicherman deserves the most praise just for assembling this cast, and particularly for giving Scott such a big role. These are astonishingly talented people who do most of the heavy lifting.

| Original Score: B | Oct 3, 2013

It's too broad to qualify as incisive, too mild to rise above the level of amusing.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 3, 2013
