J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 04/08/2020
There's some sharp satire early on, but the criminal partnership between the mother and boyfriend strains credulity and the movie lacks the gravitas required for its late detour into emotionally ugly drama. Go to Full Review
Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times 12/28/2017
The cast is rounded out with likable comedians, but this fable can't decide if it's going to be deliciously bad or morally upstanding. Go to Full Review
Rick Bentley Tribune News Service 12/28/2017
It's one of the better movies about murder, manipulation and celebrity since Gus Van Sant's 1995 feature To Die For. Go to Full Review

... struggles to generate much emotional investment in its off-putting characters or their plight. Go to Full Review

2/5
Packed with talented comedy stars, this misguided misfire isn't just unfunny; it doesn't seem like it was ever supposed to be -- it wanders, lost between a serious crime drama and a biteless satire. Go to Full Review

Paul F 02/19/2024 One of the worst movies ever created, do not listen to the high scores. See more Ted B @Movieaddicted 08/04/2023 3.5 stars; So, this film is billed as a comedy. I would agree, but only in the Cowen brothers vain of comedy.... exaggerated plot with exaggerated characters. The whole film is just a little off-the-wall. So being a big Coen brothers fan, it's natural that would like this movie. I found the movie compelling, Even if you're not a fan of that type of comedy. You still wanted to find out how this messed up plot with messed up characters gets resolved. The ending was not so predictable, but very satisfying. See more 05/30/2019 A good ensemble cast, but the tone takes a wild U-turn in the last act that is completely out of place for what could have just been an amusing comedy. See more 07/18/2018 Good idea never really solidified. See more 01/18/2018 I just watched this movie on Hulu. I almost didn't because of the low RT rating, but decided to watch the first 20 minutes based on the cast. I got sucked in and end up loving this movie. It's fun and crazy! The actors are great. I don't understand why so many critics gave it mediocre reviews. I guess you can't please everyone. See more 09/18/2017 Great movie, I've seen it twice in 2 weeks. Ursula Parker is an actress that can you move your soul; Leanne (Linda Cardellini) is simply an awful, terrible woman and mother but nobody can realize how much terrible she really is, till her daughter will found the truth in the worst way. I loved this movie, nothing can justify a 20% tomatometer. See more Read all reviews
