An exciting, different kind of role for Josh Gad. Go to Full Review

3/5
The package has a nasty little swagger that makes it a nice counterpoint to all the holiday cheer coming our way. Go to Full Review

3/4
Director Alex Winter and screenwriter Michael M.B. Galvin combine for a pitch-perfect black comedy that has a nifty satirical edge, inverting the movie convention of discovering that the kids are monsters. Go to Full Review

Though good for a chuckle, "Adulthood' should have ultimately gone with either full crazy or full misery—either commitment would have been more satisfying. Go to Full Review

3/5
…Alex Winter's Adulthood is a smart comic thriller that should have a healthy half-life on streaming, with familiar faces in a twisty-turning narrative that delivers plenty of dark and dangerous moments of frisson…. Go to Full Review

3/5
A film that doesn’t deviate too far from the familiar path, but great chemistry amongst all the cast make it a pleasurable watch. Go to Full Review

Samantha L @SamanthaLlewyn 4d We loved this one. Like an old school film noir set in the modern suburbs. Kaya and the rest of the cast are fantastic. The chemistry between Billie Lourd and Anthony Carrigan is so fun. I would love to see them together again. See more David x @Exrugger 4d Yeh, OK, I found this on a list of year-end bests, but... A outrageous premise, full of possibilities, but it seems like they just wrote themselves into corners, and took forever to write their way out, which they sometimes just didn't. Some decent actors here, Josh Gad has done cool stuff in the past, and I recognize his character is supposed to be laconic, but whew... get off the pot sometime, dude. He was like a one-man rain delay. Scenes held on way past their sell-by or plot-moving dates, and the escalating body count had no comedic touch at all, just an escalating load of pathos. See more Greg T @GreggT Dec 16 This is a fun, sneaky little noir. At turns funny as hell, vicious, and quite sad. I had a great time with it. See more R J Dec 15 I love Josh Gad & the movie starts off good while having a good premise so I thought it would have been good but it just died like everyone in the movie. It seemed less funny as the film went on yet the plot was less serious & more zany the further you get through the plot so you'd think the comedy would ramp up. The direction was just lost. The plot if the mother+father truly did the murder, the detective actually being suitable at her job, Megans family being relevant - each sub plot fell into obscurity replaced by a generic formula of who must they kill next, rinse & repeat. It eventually feels so forced when they randomly go to kill their own cousin who never knew for sure if they killed anyone, had no evidence, & would never sell them out anyway (which he even says, before they kill him)... yeah it just gets cringe. -It would have been better if it was more reminescent to those 90's films that were purposely over the top & not realistic if the comedic element was there. See more Hilary S Nov 13 We came in blind to this and had a ball. It's one of those movies that twists the knife from the beginning and doesn't let up. A fantastic group of actors who are all in top form. At turns hilarious, suspenseful and sad. See more Jon W. @Lastnameswood Nov 12 I redownloaded this app just to reiterate how pointless and non linear this movie was. From the beginning it was a good premise, and had potential. But this movie felt like I was having a weird fever dream and nothing was making sense. After each murder the movie got weirder, and the ending, where was the lead up to this behavior? Panic attacks? The subtle mention of the parents and not to mention the only time we see the descriptions of their father is when the older brother finds the gun. In the description it said the parents had dark secrets. This could’ve been a drama or a more serious movie but instead I’m on here complaining. I will say Anthony Carrigan was great. It felt so unnecessary and unresolved just killing him. And then proceeding on with their life. Besides the extremely unrealistic detective work by the police. This movie felt like they had a good story and lost the plot half way through. See more Read all reviews
