Critic Reviews:
- " A playful buddy comedy with notes of Neil Simon – and a little 50 Shades of Grey." – The Film Stage
- " Moviegoers may expect something sexier than what they get here, but Neil LaBute's focus on just-talk between Broderick and co-star Alice Eve, funny but never uproarious, provides its own modest rewards. " – Hollywood Reporter
- " Mr. LaBute is not a moralizer as much as a lamenter-his people usually bring unhappiness upon themselves. In the gently joyous “Dirty Weekend,” though, they are capable of finding a flight path to contentment. " – Wall Street Journal
