3.0/5
Farmiga and Garcia have a chemistry that's unassuming and sneaky, and the pleasure they get from each other's company ultimately proves infectious[.] Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Jan 8, 2020

2.5/5
It's a confidently made, well written and handsomely performed scenario that gets a surprising amount of mileage from overly familiar dramatic tensions. Go to Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk Sep 20, 2015
3/5
Garcia and Farmiga's appealing chemistry supplies the pep missing from the limp script and although the prevailing mood is cosily light-hearted, there's a bittersweet undertone to the film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ashley O @RT10690223 Jul 30, 2026 I’m not sure why critics like this film, I think it’s boring. There’s likely some cinematic significance that only someone in film school would recognize and appreciate, but the the average viewer seeking entertainment it will leave much to be desired. See more natalya W @Nat123 Feb 28, 2026 *spoiler alert* but not really Im mad that they didn't end up together. Why do they never end up together! The writers think its deep? Its a cliche at this point. The movie was ok a bit cheesy the relationship between the two made it watchable. See more Steven S @RT92004425 May 1, 2023 Nice little movie about what could never be as two strangers (parents) accompany their kids to a college tour and meet and squirrel away for their own tour. Unrequited relationships between 2 adults are painful… See more corkball @RT87142816 Sep 3, 2021 Ferris Bueller for adults? Two parents are taking their respective kids to a college tour, and of course they are opposites, but they strike up a friendship and play hooky from the tour - hijinx ensue. It isn't rip roaring funny or anything, but it is engaging enough to watch. The leads are ok, but geez Garcia has to be like 20 years older than the female lead. The acting is pretty good, but the script, after a strong start, starts to peter and gasp.
