New York Post

A sub-Apatovian farce that tries way too hard ...

Rated: 1.5/4

Los Angeles Times

A noisy stab at wacky wrongness that starts with reasonably plump possibility as a dispatch from the frontlines of viral video embarrassment hell.

Rated: 2/5

New York Times

A vibrantly vulgar comedy that never hangs around to admire its own cleverness.

Frankie Go Boom does have a lot of moments of shocking raunch. But every moment like that is coupled with a genuinely human interaction...

Behind The Lens

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.

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.

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.

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!
