One of those exasperating, totally fraudulent New York-centric indies about how tough it is to make it in the big city...without actually showing how tough it is to make it in the big city.

Though it doesn't carry the impact one would have hoped for, Growing Up and Other Lies finally intimates empathy for these modern musketeers clinging to the comfort of at least being there for each other.

Everything about the movie has a sloppy, throwaway feel to it.

Clever set up, but mature friendship comedy is formulaic.

With putrid characters and pedestrian plotting, Growing Up and Other Lies is a thoroughly unpleasant comedy.

Intermittently amusing but rarely as funny as it wants to be.

"Growing Up & Other Lies" instead feels like a really long beer commercial, except beer commercials usually contain at least one witty idea.

This is a very by the numbers film that, like its leads, seems to wander aimlessly under the pretence of getting somewhere.

Cenac gives the most entertaining performance, but at the expense of making Gunderson so irredeemably obnoxious that it's impossible to believe he'd have any friends.

"Growing Up and Other Lies" tells you right in the title it's not going to take maturing seriously, so it's not a surprise that the movie is unfocused and ineffective.
