Reception

Ken Eisner, writing for Variety, said it was an "amiable, undemanding comedy."[2] Marc Horton of the Edmonton Journal wrote that the dialogue was not believable and that the resolution was too predictable.[3] Liam Lacey of The Globe & Mail wrote "Something More could have been played as an embittered little satire along the lines of About Last Night or Your Friends and Neighbors. As such, it probably would have been a more interesting movie. As it stands, it's really just a commercial calling card -- a way for novice feature director Rob King and the film's Canadian producers to show that they too can create perfectly competent, undemanding diversions."[4]
