- 80VarietyNick SchagerVarietyNick Schager[A] winning film ... Genre fans won’t want to miss it.
- 75The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerThe A.V. ClubJesse HassengerPlus One isn’t much more than consistently amusing and sweetly romantic, but in the right hands, those qualities can still feel like a lot.
- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliFor romance junkies, the film checks all the boxes. For those who want a little more, it comes complete with a smart script, likeable leads, and a willingness to occasionally tweak a trope or two. My only complaint about Plus One is that the ending feels a little rushed.
- 75Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonPhiladelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonDevelopments give Erskine a chance to play hurt and wounded, and she handles this as beautifully as she does the light comedy. She’s the plus in Plus One.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterJon FroschThe Hollywood ReporterJon FroschPlus One is nothing if not formulaic. ... But what Plus One lacks in originality it at least partially makes up for in warmth and watchability.
- 70Film ThreatLorry KiktaFilm ThreatLorry KiktaMaya Erskine is hilarious, which is no surprise, given how funny she is on Hulu’s Pen15.
- 65TheWrapRobert AbeleTheWrapRobert AbeleThe movie’s real showcase gold lies in the magnetic appeal of screwball comedy natural Erskine (Hulu’s “PEN15”); she’s a major talent who rightly runs away with the movie, conjuring in the viewer’s head a constellation of wishful star turns to come.
- 63The Seattle TimesThe Seattle TimesThe wedding of strong actors with a solid script is what makes Plus One worthy of saying “I do” to enjoying it.
