Ty Burr Washington Post No matter that Paymer has 11 years on Sedgwick; the two make a believable couple, he turning Richard into a sweet-natured ditherer and she making Ellen a past master at delivering put-downs with a well-meaning smile. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 25, 2025 Full Review 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. Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Bob Strauss 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 May 30, 2025 Full Review Tim Miller Cape Cod Wave Magazine The Trouble With Harry meets La Cage Aux Folles/The Birdcage in director Daniel Robbins’ lightweight sitcom of a movie. Comedian-actress Vayntrub is especially good as the somewhat sardonic sister. But Method Man walks away with the movie. Rated: 3/4 Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Zachary Goldkind In Review Online That the project hinges itself on a single joke in its first act... suggests a fundamental limitation rooted in simple juvenilia. Jul 24, 2025 Full Review James Verniere Boston Movie News I know I am in the minority. But this is a lot of shtick and cliches. Rated: C+ Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Miriam J Super funny, very relatable! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review Meloney Loved this dark comedy. The characters were well done. All around a good time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Carolyn G A romp with fun, cringy moments. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Avi A lot of pro actors. The doorman character was the best.. First level cinematography. Some errors on the Jewish ritual law details.. I wouldve chosen a different , more positive ending. May their next film be even better. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review RJ Just so funny!! And so true. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Trish Funny but a very improbable storyline. People around me were howling with laughter. loved Kyra Sedgwick in it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
