while not everything connects in the movie, "Hooking Up" is saved by the efforts of Brittany Snow and Sam Richardson. They make a charming couple, even if the film itself has less allure
the film's shortcoming is it's not all that funny; [but] The story is good-natured; while the premise is outlandish and over-the-top, it ends with some sweet and authentic moments to justifying its richly deserved rom-com designation
director Nico Raineau and co-writer Lauren Schacher hug the familiar beats of the form while rubbing up against its conventions with some naughty, sometimes endearing tweaks
adult audiences often love shockingly raunchy comedy, but writer-director Nico Raineau's feature debut is a sex comedy that's not sexy, not funny, and not worthy of its two lead actors
"Hooking Up" is a pretty good movie; In its own unconventional, nasty way, "Hooking Up" does what every good romantic comedy does: It brings together two imperfect, incomplete people and shows them learning from each other
