Clickonline writes: "Mazer picked an easy target for his first film as director, and there’s some comedy to be found in the inverted situations of a regular romantic comedy. But the dull patches, together with unlikeable characters and an ending which takes genre parody several steps too far mean I Give It a Year doesn't even make it to the reception."
WGTC writes: Though it's decidedly uneven and far from perfect, I Give It A Year is still a refreshingly risqué comedy that boasts a handful of great performances.
Clickonline writes: "I Give it a Year is the directorial debut of Dan Mazer, the man behind the scripts of Bruno and Borat among others. He’s decided to subvert the rom-com genre with a darkly funny comedy, and enlisted up and coming star Rafe Spall as his leading man. We got a chance to catch up with both of them in Dublin recently to talk about the film, its roots in reality and, oddly, peeing."
Starting where other romantic comedies finish, I GIVE IT A YEAR lifts the veil on the realities of the first year of marriage and stars Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids), Rafe Spall (One Day), Anna Faris (The Dictator) Simon Baker (The Mentalist) and Stephen Merchant (The Office).
