- 70Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAnchored by a nicely understated performance by Seann William Scott, Just Before I Go effectively juggles a wealth of genuine, at times profound, emotion with quite a bit of nutty-raunchy humor.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe film falters when it ham-fistedly attempts to detour into sensitive drama.
- 38New York PostKyle SmithNew York PostKyle SmithJust Before I Go is a “Garden State” retread in which filthy jokes gradually cede ground to sentimental slush.
- 20New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNew York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierThe former “Friends” star clearly wanted something special, but sadly the result is ... this.
- 20The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenJust Before I Go, the directorial debut of Courteney Cox, lurches along a wobbly line between salacious comic nastiness and nauseating sentimentality. The two strains are so poorly integrated that the screenplay (by David Flebotte) feels like pieces from two different projects mashed together with little oversight.
- 10VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangDull and tamped down throughout, Scott convinces well enough as a guy who wants be put out of his misery, and there isn’t an actor here who doesn’t look ready to join him.
