- 75ColliderColliderSarandon, Keaton, Gere, Macy, Roberts, and Bracey, elevate the script with a charm that feels entirely natural, and they make these characters shine.
- 70We Got This CoveredMartin CarrWe Got This CoveredMartin CarrFor now, audiences will have to make do with this considered slice of comedy-drama, which throws up some familiar questions without actually digging deep enough to offer up anything conclusive.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreA bittersweet, wistful rom-com that may not be all that it might have been, but isn’t all that bad as it is.
- 60VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonTo be fair: Maybe I Do is undemanding, painless and pleasantly diverting, and has the saving grace of never trying too hard for a cheap laugh. There are quite a few undeniably funny lines, many of them made all the more amusing by the perfect-pitch delivery of the pros in the cast.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDespite the formidable star wattage and estimable talents on display, however, Maybe I Do fails to overcome its obvious stage origins, feeling all too schematic and talky. The plot feels like it could have been lifted from a French farce from the last century.
- 42The A.V. ClubAndy KleinThe A.V. ClubAndy KleinInstead of gags, we’re treated to endless observations about love, commitment, romance, parental responsibilities, and other well-trod subjects. None of this is particularly insightful or interesting.
- 30The New York TimesGlenn KennyThe New York TimesGlenn KennyA romantic comedy starring Diane Keaton, Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon and William H. Macy would kill as a Nancy Meyers movie. Unfortunately, the rom-com Maybe I Do was written and directed by the television veteran Michael Jacobs.
- 25RogerEbert.comMarya E. GatesRogerEbert.comMarya E. GatesWhat drew this cast to this film? One that boils its characters down to cardboard copies of real people whose only aim in life is traditional heterosexual, Christian, nuclear family units without any defying characteristics beyond their roles within those units.
- 10TheWrapFran HoepfnerTheWrapFran HoepfnerDespite its A-list cast, can’t escape its shoddy writing and worse filmmaking.
