Not a review, but I just saw an advert for this, and the lack of a question mark STILL BLOODY ANNOYS ME.
Think I need to lie down.

Hey diddle diddle, though some laughs in the middle, I lost interest far too soon. The plot full of cliché, despite a great Wilson display, its not surprising that Rudd ran away Witherspoon.

Well, by watching it unfortunately....

How Do You Know this film sucks?
Because I was stupid enough to actually watch this through to the end. A boring unfunny ridiculously overly long film. When even Paul Rudd can't save a comedy you know it really is terrible.

I’m not really a fan of the films of James L. Brooks with the only one I remotely like being Broadcast News. So seeing as How Do You Know is his lowest rated film so far I wasn’t exactly rushing to watch it. I’d like to say that the critics were wrong and this is a great misunderstood romantic comedy, sadly the critics and public were spot on. This is a boring, protracted and incredibly safe romantic comedy that offers nothing new to a genre already suffocating in samey crap.
Jack Nicholson, a million miles from his best, is the one bright spot in the entire film as Paul Rudd’s aggressive and manipulative father. Sadly I think the only reason…

Blah.
Reese's big blue eyes and flaring nostrils (and her character's liking for Guinness beer) were about all that kept me going through this over-long flick. The movie should have been trimmed by a half hour so that it might have felt less bogged down by dull characters, a loosy-goosy script (awful dialogue most of the time), and too many strange, long, boring scenes.
Rudd and Nicholson, who've certainly done good work elsewhere, simply dial in their lackluster performances here. Owen Wilson does his usual whiny impersonation of Woody Allen, which never completely works for me. He just isn't funny.
This marginally OK movie limps all the way to the finish line. I do not recommend How Do You Know, unless you're a die-hard Reese fan. And even then, it might leave you with an aching brain.

Awful. This gets one star because there is one star in it and his name is Paul Stephen Rudd. Unsuccessful attempt to weave two very incompatible storylines together. Kathryn Hahn provides some spark, but I would not recommend wasting your time watching this.

Pleasant enough if completely inconsequential. There's not anything particularly wrong or bad here, it just doesn't really do anything. There's no real conflict so it doesn't really feel like you need to be invested or care about anyone involved.

I do love this film, which is the rare romantic comedy that dares not to demonize any of its characters, and which, for all the moments that don't work at all, also has a precious few that work like gangbusters, and which succeed in elevating the entire enterprise.

Kaksi tuntia kiduttavaa parisuhde -skeidaa. Leffan mukana pitäisi tulla pari metriä köyttä tai edes partakoneenteriä.

Not bad at all. If you like rom-coms, you'll probably enjoy this. Paul Rudd really is the star here to me, and I enjoyed his role.

Meiteņu kino. Romatisko filmu plaukiņš. Un šī nav labākā izvēle. Daudz par garu un bez īpašām asprātībām. Tā remdeni, remdeni paiet viss seanss. Rīza Viterspūna, protams ir ļoti jauka meitene, bet nu visu filmu nevar izvilkt viena jauka meiča. Pols Ruds ar liekas ne īsti savā ādā, nerunājot par Džeku Nikolsonu, kura līdzdalība šajā niekā ir vairāk kā nesaprotama. Vecuma marasms vai kā? Vienīgais kas te jūtas labi ir pajolīgais Ovens Vilsons kurš principā visās filmās ir vienāds, bet te vēl cenšas izlikties par ekscentrisku bagātnieku un tas ir diezgan kaitinoši. Bet viņam arī šadas lomas piestāv, jo nu kaut ko nopietnāku no šī gaidīt ir lieki un nevajadzīgi. Nu jābūt kādam, kurš visu laiku tēlo visādus apdauzītus pajoliņus un…
