"Instead of a mix-and-match form of stock characters and situations, “Save The Date” asks a question not heard often enough in Hollywood: "Why can’t a rom-com be based around actual human feelings?" Light in tone without being insubstantial, this is what more romantic comedies should aspire to be." - IndieWire
"There are no heroes or villains in Save The Date, just good, sympathetic and wonderfully human characters trying to make the best of a situation that grows more complicated, impossible, and heartbreaking by the moment. Save The Date is an exquisitely bittersweet examination of the joys and perils of commitment, a swooningly romantic yet clear-eyed comedy-drama with a bracingly tough yet fragile heroine who remains sympathetic no matter how unsympathetically she behaves or how many hearts she breaks." - The Onion AV Club
"Romantic comedies are for people who wish they could be in fairytale love and want to kiss someone under the movie marquee in the rain. Save the Date is for anyone who can argue with their significant other and then just watch a movie on the couch in sweatpants with their arms around each other minutes later. it's the quintessential representation of real love, real problems, and a group of real talented people coming together to deliver a fantastic film that is one of the best of its kind at Sundance this year." - First Showing
"Director Michael Mohan allows layers to develop in all of [the characters], giving us time in each relationship to see how they worked and why they didn't, and letting every characters' choice come from a real place, not the demands of a script in a hurry to get to the happy ending. It's the honesty and warm spirit of the movie that really sells it-- sure it's about hip LA people who are all easy on the eyes, but these are all people you probably know, and it's hard not to identify with them even when they're making colossal mistakes." - Cinema Blend
"It almost sounds like something from Reality Bites, but Save the Date, which premiered this week at the Sundance Film Festival, is the movie Ben Stiller’s 1994 paen to Gen-X neuroses could and should have been." - Entertainment Weekly
"Michael Mohan took these characters, cast the perfect actors and spent just the right time developing them so we’re left with a movie that’s not just some other forgettable quirky indie comedy." - Ain't It Cool News
"Save the Date just gets it right. The tone is kind and sympathetic but juicy with drama and tension breaking comedy. The script by Jeffrey Brown, Egan Reich and director Michael Mohan says a lot and the execution just gets out of the way of the words and performances." - Crave Online
