Critics Consensus

Sleeping with Other People has likable leads and flashes of inspiration, but seems unwilling or unable to surround them with the truly subversive rom-com they deserve.

Somewhere along the line, somebody sanded down Headland's rough edges.

Kat Poole

Empire Magazine

Director Leslye Headland's follow-up to Bachelorette addresses big issues like the role of sex in relationships while delivering refreshing laughs thanks to a supporting cast who make their value known; Adam Brody's cameo is a revelation.

Rated: 3/5

The List

Perhaps Headland is afraid of her films being too unlikable for audiences, or this an attempt to legitimise herself within the mainstream. Because, ultimately, why sacrifice all this smart, perceptive modernity for a finale hewn of Hollywood cliché?

Rated: 3/5

Vague Visages

When Sleeping with Other People does hit — which is a lot of the time — it’s an invigorating spicing up of formula; a winning balance of hedonism and heart that’s unapologetic about either quality

Moviepudding

Essentially a Meg Ryan picture with quippier dialogue, Sleeping with Other People turns into “sleeping with one person for the rest of your life,” adhering to the usual stakes and upholding the status quo.

Might have been more effective if it didn't adhere so strictly to the old possum that men and women can't be friends.

This was such a nice, quirky feel good movie. Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie were exceptional together. It's definitely worth the watch.

Where to begin on Harvey Weinstein's acolytes film. She seemed to draw a lot of inspiration from the concepts of feeling trapped and having someone facilitate that whole situation. Can't imagine where she started to understand that dynamic.
