"The Coen Brothers and writer Chad Taylor have lined up a terrifically talented cast for this story, with Billy Magnussen completely stealing each of his scenes as a drunken yuppie." - Desmond Rogers, TIME Magazine



"This film just feels a little too plain for talents like Joel and Ethan Coen. They really seem to have been guns-for-hire on the project as it is pretty devoid of their usual idiosyncracies and tone." - Manny Duncan, San Antonio Express-News



"While not funny by traditional Coen Brothers standards, An Honest Mistake does feature many joyfully uncomfortable scenes between its starring couples." - Richard Park, Globe and Mail
