1.5/4
A sub-Apatovian farce that tries way too hard ... Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 10/11/2012
2/5
A noisy stab at wacky wrongness that starts with reasonably plump possibility as a dispatch from the frontlines of viral video embarrassment hell. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 10/11/2012
5/5
A vibrantly vulgar comedy that never hangs around to admire its own cleverness. Go to Full Review Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus 03/31/2020
Frankie Go Boom does have a lot of moments of shocking raunch. But every moment like that is coupled with a genuinely human interaction... Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/27/2019
With absurd wackiness abounding, and as Ron Perlman opines, "The funniest script I've read in at least 25 years", 3, 2, 1. . .Frankie Go Boom is madcap zaniness at its best. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/05/2019

Yuri B @RyuBlack 03/31/2023 I...... I...... Ron Perlman was in...... in...... I can never unsee that now. See more 05/06/2020 Frankie goes boom is in its core a romantic comedy and unfortunately the movie is more dumb than funny. The cast is OK and it tries to be like Zach and Mimi made a porno but it’s not near as funny. The movie does have a few chuckles and watching Ron Perlman in drag is over the top but there’s nothing here that memorable. See more 05/06/2017 I... I... Ron Perlman was in... in... I can never unsee that now. See more 08/04/2015 I enjoyed this movie just for Ron Perlman. It is a very strange movie but quite enjoyable I found. Good chemistry with Hunnam and Perlman. I would watch it again. See more 01/07/2015 Real bad. Not even funny. See more 10/11/2014 I saw this at the Milwaukee Film Festival one or two years ago and got major laughs. Crude, not for everybody but Ron Perlman was amazing and I even enjoyed Chris Noth! See more Read all reviews
