What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though it strives to mimic The Hangover, 21 and Over is too predictable, too unabashedly profane, and too inconsistently funny to carry the torch.

Donald Clarke Irish Times One of many recent films that could serve as a recruiting advertisement for Al Qaeda. Rated: 1/5 May 5, 2013 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard The final implication that this is how you grow up and find yourself makes one fear for the future of US youth. And, indeed, America itself. Rated: 2/5 May 3, 2013 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Dire. Rated: 1/5 May 2, 2013 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Absurd, silly, over-the-top, ridiculous, unbelievable, outrageous, and frequently funny. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 21 And Over is raucous, riotous, uproarious ridiculum that will, at times, have your sides hurting from laughing so hard. Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Debbie Baldwin Ladue News About 25 minutes into this movie-and that's generous-you start to wonder if the title refers to the I.Q. requirement necessary to enjoy this movie. Rated: 2/10 Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Ptipana L Nostalgia I remember when I watched this movie back then in 2013, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt. It was the funniest movie I had ever watched, and now that I have watched it for the second time after 10 years in 2023, it is still amazing and funny. Despite the negative reviews it received from some critics, it is a wonderful movie, and you won't regret watching it. And you will enjoy every minute of it. The film is suitable for anyone who likes comedy and wants to have a good time, and the end of the movie made me feel nostalgic for the good old days, and I wish they would make a sequel. Because it is one of my favorites. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Mel K This never pretends to be some blockbuster masterpiece. With big name stars and awesome special effects. It's just fun. It is simply a lot of fun. You will not be disappointed for watching it. Its not the greatest film ever made. But the current 27% score is way too harsh. Watch it and see for yourself. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/23 Full Review Emilliano Jr S Like a cheap, poor man's The Hangover. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/23/23 Full Review cbcguy Hilarious at times but has its flaws, had some great ideas but some parts were executed poorly. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Some funny parts, but not a good movie all around Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/22 Full Review Audience Member Sarah Wright and Skylar Astin have really good chemistry in their scenes but that's the only true highlight. Otherwise, it's a mildly funny at best comedy that relies on played-out tropes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
