Dennis Harvey Variety Mickey Rourke is a grizzled ex-CIA assassin improbably mentoring Nat Wolff's misfit teen in this lukewarm genre jumble. Sep 27, 2015 Full Review Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly Folks buying a ticket to Ashby hoping to see a film about the late-great director of Being There and Harold and Maude are about to be sorely disappointed. So is everyone else. Rated: C- Sep 25, 2015 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times It's a quirky life-lessons setup that, while occasionally earning deadpan laughs, tries for but never achieves Wes Anderson's patented mixture of the archly witty and the sneakily emotional. Sep 25, 2015 Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Movies with Mae Ashby has occasional heartwarming moments but isn't well-rounded enough to understand its own journey. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 10, 2019 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy While a pleasing attempt at a feature debut, it's hard to imagine Ashby will have too much staying power past its theatrical release. Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Dawn Day Bust Magazine Despite the many winding roads it goes down, Ashby is funny throughout and easy to watch. Mar 10, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

erdene c A good movie with lessons for teenage boys Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Uynga U Emma did such an good job Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Munkhjargal A This movie is about the life of mother and daughter. she was a teenage girl who could do anything. but he meets a retired hit man in a new town and befriends him, making him realize that the life of a hit man is a real mess. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Bahad j This idea of ​​the filmmaker made the movie more accessible to more people. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review isla s This is a quirky, fairly amusing watch. The characters are good and it has a bit of a comic book type feel - its somewhat imaginative I suppose. I'm not much keen on Sarah Silverman but that can't be helped. While the plot is unlikely, its a fairly easy and entertaining watch, so I suppsoe I'd give it a 7 out of 10 rating for the pure entertainment value. Its worth a watch if your wanting a an amusing watch, even though there are some cheesy and cliche aspects but then that kind of accounts for some of its humour - I wouldn't say its the sort of film that takes itself too seriously, to put it that way. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Ashby tries to juggle a lot of things, even though it is successful in some of them, at the end it just feels like any other generic feel good film but with some bad editing and camera work. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
