Jeremy of We Got This Covered wrote, "Nicholas Stoller and frequent co-worker Jason Segel re-team for an R-rated Judd Apatow-produced wedding comedy that co-stars Emily Blunt and Chris Pratt. The Five-Year Engagement features similar Stoller/Segel humor and eventual drama, but falls flat somewhere around the halfway point, making it their weakest team effort yet. The outstanding chemistry between Segel and Blunt makes the film charming and lovable, but it loses its footing and never manages to regain that level of filmmaking we’ve come to expect from the pair."
