New York Times (Stephen Holden)
Just below the sitcom surface of this smart-talking comedy seethes a bitter critique of the sportive sexual habits of Southern California's babes-and-hunks culture. ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at New York Times (Stephen Holden)
TV Guide's Movie Guide (Ken Fox)
It's not only sexy, clever and well-acted by a fine cast of mostly TV actors, but it's also a grown-up comedy about honest-to-God grown ups. ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at TV Guide's Movie Guide (Ken Fox)
The New York Times (Stephen Holden)

The Onion (A.V. Club) (Scott Tobias)

efilmcritic.com (Collin Souter)

More witty than laugh-out-loud funny. ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)
Cinema Signals (Jules Brenner)
The fantasy that is this film's central contrivance is so much about superficiality that it flits from mind before the end credits finish. Or, is that just relief? ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at Cinema Signals (Jules Brenner)
LA Weekly (Scott Foundas)
Begins as a refreshingly subversive departure from the Hollywood studios' cookie-cutter romances, but the thin script can't sustain that initial charge, and it soon flattens out, like a punctured comic balloon. ...read the complete Seeing Other People movie review at LA Weekly (Scott Foundas)
