I thought the movie started a little slow, but ended up being hilarious. It was great to see the bigger stars like Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish, let the other comedians have the spotlight. I love them for that!

"Back on the Strip" is worth seeing for its hardworking cast.

Frank Scheck

Hollywood Reporter

Despite some amusing moments, it never really takes off, burdened by a tiresome romantic subplot that periodically stops the movie dead in its tracks.

Peter Debruge

Variety

This lean team effort is Sanders’ directorial debut, and he gets the laughs. Strip away the pomp and polish of a bigger-budget project, and that’s all that matters.

Common Sense Media

Unfortunately, this comedy is hampered by jokes that seem both stale (as in they would have been fresher in the early 1990s) and off-putting...

Rated: 2/5

Despite big-name cast, "Strip" is a drag.

The Gate

Back on the Strip doesn’t know when to leave well enough alone, and while some of this stuff works in fits and starts – particularly the romantic rivalry between [Love] and [Smoove] – most of it struggles to rise above everything else going on.

Rated: 4/10
