Critics Consensus: I Do... Until I Don't misses opportunities for fresh observations, settling instead for a middle of the road romantic comedy lacking memorable characters or real emotional stakes.

Delivers a warmly satisfying resolution without showing how it gets there.
Bell's film ends up stuck between being a standard audience-pleaser and something more subversive. For a movie about marriage, you wish it would commit one way or the other.
Given the emphasis on sincerity and sweetness over argument and insight, maybe "defense" [of marriage] is the wrong word. Maybe it should be "affirmation."
I Do... Until I Don't marks a strange turn from the characteristic creativity of Bell's previous efforts. It isn't as painful as breaking up, but it gets close.
The movie's satirical backbone softens and dissolves, and watching it go wrong might make you realize it wasn't that good to begin with - that Bell had been getting by on energy and the audience's goodwill.
None of it is painful, the performances are all solid, but still ...
If you enjoy watching couples fight for 90 minutes, be my guest.
... it leaves a lot to be desired and the pace of the movie does not help... [Full review in Spanish]
But the movie is disappointing both because it doesn't say anything new about relationships, and doesn't find a fresh way to say them.
Bell is a generous writer, not keeping juicy lines to herself. I Do . . . Until I Don't fairly drips with them.
It's a good cast, and there are a few bits that generate a laugh or two, but the overall concept seems as dusty as a 1950s sitcom.
Don't say yes to this mess.
