Hooking Up strolls through standard rom-com clichés, the rest of the performances are phoned in, and it dully arrives at its all-too-familiar destination.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 28, 2022

They manage to elevate this tepid, wannabe-cool film that doesn’t deserve it.

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 13, 2022

In an attempt to set itself apart from other sex comedies, Hooking Up has some bizarre plot elements that actually lower the quality of this already lowbrow movie.

this road map of Darla's exploits, originally marked out as a self-medicating trip, ends up with as many plot holes as the highway has potholes.

| Jun 8, 2020

Hooking Up isn't a terrible movie, by any means, but it struggles to carve out a niche for itself in an area of the romcom already covered by the mixed bag one-two punch of No Strings Attached and Friends With Benefits in 2011.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 8, 2020

This movie is as vanilla as they come.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 3, 2020

Limp sex comedy is counterproductive; smoking, cursing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 9, 2020

The two lead characters are saddled with plenty of afflictions, but this romantic comedy itself might suffer from even more.

Brittany Snow and Sam Richardson can only do so much in this predictable and stale rom-com. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 29, 2020

It's a road trip, sex farce, interracial romcom, cancer movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 29, 2020

Even if the story feels a little contrived, the interaction and situations are packed with edgy humour and hints of deeper emotion.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 26, 2020

The story is good-natured, and while the premise is outlandish and over-the-top, it ends with some sweet and authentic moments to justifying its richly deserved rom-com designation.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 25, 2020

"Hooking Up" is a pretty good movie. I enjoyed it and could even imagine watching it again. But it's also the movie that shows that Snow doesn't have to be relegated to pretty good movies. She's ready for better.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 25, 2020

Too often, though, the forced crassness outweighs the likability.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 23, 2020

Director Nico Raineau and co-writer Lauren Schacher hug the familiar beats of the form while rubbing up against its conventions with some naughty, sometimes endearing tweaks.

| Mar 22, 2020

Trite and silly.

| Mar 21, 2020

Hooking Up does some admirable things during its epilogue. The same cannot be said of the rest of the movie.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 20, 2020

While not everything connects in the movie, "Hooking Up" is saved by the efforts of Snow and Richardson.

| Mar 19, 2020

There's nothing wrong with Snow and Richardson, who give the production their all to create distinct personalities. It's the rest of "Hooking Up" that's too tonally wobbly and overlong for comfort.

| Original Score: C | Mar 19, 2020

You wouldn't think that sex addiction and testicular cancer are topics that could be mined for any but the cheapest of laughs. And Hooking Up would prove you right.
