Clickonline writes: "Key to the success of The Five Year Engagement is the easy chemistry between its leads. Segel and Blunt look perfectly relaxed on screen during the warm moments and realistically charged during the altercations. It’s rare to see a movie couple that doesn’t appear to have been assembled purely for aesthetic purposes and these performers handle comedy, drama and ad-libbing with a grace and charm that’s refreshing to see."
