Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

Because the film leans so heavily into its breakneck antics, the folks here mostly come off more as a collection of stereotypes than as realistic people tackling a credible crisis.

San Francisco Chronicle

Neither too “oy vey” nor “Weekend at Bernie’s” but steeped in the best aspects of both Jewish and black comedy, “Bad Shabbos” is a treat any night of the week.

Rated: 3/4

It is Cliff “Method Man” Smith, as a witty doorman who’s brighter than anyone else, that brings “Bad Shabbos” across the finish line.

Rated: 2.5/4

Louisa Moore

Screen Zealots

A culturally specific yet universally funny story that builds into a deliciously madcap crescendo of escalating disasters, this brisk, breezy comedy with a distinctly Jewish flavor hits all the right notes on family, faith, and identity.

at its best when its humor is character driven, but the dead body driving the plot is often a dead weight for the comedy.

Rated: B-

Feeling somewhat like a stage play, though shot nimbly enough, Bad Shabbos is ultimately clever and amusing enough. But it’s also pretty sitcomish in tenor, with some performances laboring pretty hard for wackiness.

Lighthearted and relevant had some very poignant moments. Enjoyable football ages and and would be especially entertaining for any couple struggling with religious differences.
