The A.V. Club -
A beautifully observed coming-of-age story.

A surprisingly agile and delightfully warm romantic comedy.

Entertainment Weekly -
There's a tidiness and affection to this British homage to John Hughes movies.

|
Christian Science Monitor -
McAvoy succeeds in making the boy's mania for trivia endearing rather than annoying. As his (delayed) love interest, Rebecca Hall, playing a campus radical and the first Jewish person he has ever encountered, is stunning.
