Critical reception



Brian Orndorf from 'Blu-ray.com' gave the film a "D", and wrote "A moronic empowerment tale where the lead character is dumbed down to such a degree, it's almost difficult to believe he's capable of standing upright without falling over." Katie Walsh from 'Los Angeles Times' wrote in her review "A great cast cannot save the dramatically inert and totally inept rom-com 'Alex & The List', which is short on both the rom and the com", and that the cast "just cant get out from under the somnambulant, stereotypical sludge."
