Bigoye.com Review:
Life Partner is a complete no-brainer with predictable plot.
Karan (Fardeen Khan) and Sanjana (Genelia D'Souza) are happily dating each other. Sanjana keeps on changing her profession and Karan does not have the guts to say it on her face that she is pathetic in whatever she tries. Bhavesh (Tusshar Kapoor) prefers gifting his virginity to his wife to be. However, he keeps on writing formulas to woo a girl by observing Karan. Jeet (Govinda) is a divorce lawyer who is against marriage. Bhavesh meets Prachi (Prachi Desai) and in no time the two are getting married. Sanjana asks Karan if he could marry her at the same time, and next we see them getting married. One marriage, one add-on marriage free?
Direction 
Rumi Jaffery’s attempt to make people laugh are fruitful. But most of those laughs are unintentional. Many of the jokes and plots are clichéd.
Script/Story
Life Partner is full of predictable plots; be it the marriage or the divorce between the pairs. Even the fights between the couples seem artificial. Watching Prachi Desai having arguments with her father-in-law reminds one the TV serial Kasamh Se - an Ekta Kapoor soap in which she starred. Too many irrelevant songs add to your woes.
Performances
Govinda is impressive because of his brilliant comic timing. Genelia D’souza needs to work on her acting skills and dialogue delivery. Fardeen Khan and Tusshar Kappor are decent in their respective roles. Prachi Desai is just about average and fails to put forth a memorable act like she did in Rock On!!
Bolywoodhungama.com Review:
LIFE PARTNER is a simple story told in a simplistic manner. Director Rumy Jaffery comes to the point at the very outset and the principle characters and their characteristics are well established at this juncture. The film is laced with funny incidents initially, but gets serious as it reaches the interval point. In this case too, the interval point is a shocker and you await the second half for several reasons. The post-interval portions get more real, since the two marriages go through a crisis and the transition is depicted wonderfully.
However, the climax is a downer. Ideally, the writer should've come up with a better thought of conclusion, instead of the one that's depicted now.
Rumy Jaffery shows ample improvement over his previous film. He has handled a number of scenes very well, especially the Tusshar - Prachi - Darshan Jariwala portions. Pritam comes up with an ordinary soundtrack. 'Kuke Kuke' is the best of the lot. Yunus Sajawal's screenplay has several appealing moments. Niranjan Iyengar's dialogues are first-class. Sameer Arya's cinematography is admirable. The locales of South Africa are a visual treat. In fact, the film sports a rich look all through.
Govinda is in terrific form this time. After PARTNER, the talented actor gets a role that does complete justice to his abilities. He seems to have worked on his looks and that only enhances the impact. Fardeen Khan is very likable. In fact, the role requires him to go overboard at times and he does that so well. Genelia D'Souza is the scene stealer. She's superb and one of the prime reasons that makes LIFE PARTNER watchable.
Tusshar Kapoor pitches a remarkable performance yet again. He looks so perfect for his part. LIFE PARTNER is yet another film that showcases his talent well. Prachi Desai showed abundant promise in ROCK ON!! and excels in LIFE PARTNER too. This pretty girl has the potential to carry off most difficult scenes with aplomb. Amrita Rao [sp. app.] doesn't create magic. Anupam Kher is just right. Darshan Jariwala is proficient. Vikram Gokhale is good. Jagdeep is superb in a brief role.
On the whole, LIFE PARTNER may lack the hype, but this one springs a pleasant surprise. It's aimed at the families and that section of movie-going audience should take to it gradually, with a strong word of mouth. The holidays in its opening weekend should help the film grow!
