“..when the truth (or believability) isn't being stretched, everything else-character details, sudden new sources of income-is kept vague..”
by Melissa Anderson [Village Voice]
“..unfortunately, the potential for screwball comedy is wasted because "L!fe Happens" never finds its thematic tone or comedic rhythm..”
by Loren King [Boston Globe]
“..this sets up the film's main sources of tension: the battle between raising a kid and raising hell, between baby time and time with friends..”
by Amy Biancolli [San Francisco Chronicle]

“..there are plenty of silly cliches and wasted opportunities..”
by Elizabeth Weitzman [New York Daily News]
“..some capable actors, however, go a ways toward making those movie cliches, at least in places, pleasant..”
by David DeWitt [New York Times]
“..overall however, the script prompts the actors to overplay their roles so broadly it's practically squirm-worthy..”
by Justin Lowe [Hollywood Reporter]

“..it all sounds dreadful, like the pilot for another brainless comedy series on network TV, but it grows on you..”
by Rex Reed [New York Observer]
“..if Krysten Ritter didn't already have a TV show, "Life Happens" would offer good material for an adaptation..”
by Richard Roeper [Chicago Sun-Times]

“..any hopes of "L!fe" upending the rom-com status quo are dashed..”
by Sara Stewart [New York Post]
