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

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

That the project hinges itself on a single joke in its first act... suggests a fundamental limitation rooted in simple juvenilia.

I know I am in the minority. But this is a lot of shtick and cliches.

If you’re intrigued, you should take in “Bad Shabbos,” but you might want to wait until after sundown on Saturday – when actual Shabbos ends.

Rated: 2.5/5

Half of. It was absolutely hysterical and fun and the other half was a little annoying. I must say that the first half though and the very ending made it worthwhile seeing the movie.
