A strong ensemble cast nails the tasty dialogue and increasingly frantic action without falling into shtick.

This movie can thank a breakout performance by the rapper Method Man (Wu-Tang Clan) for pulling it across the finish line.

Rated: 3/4

The Hollywood Reporter

[Robbins and Weiner] know how to deliver a solid genre programmer and a few genuine laughs — especially a gag involving challah bread — but other parts of Bad Shabbos feel a bit too broad and formulaic, lacking a distinct voice.

PopMatters

Until the end, Robbins and Weiner thread together the hope of this reading with the cynicism of how people manipulate the levers of control and power, however humorously, to their advantage.

If one person behaved rationally in Bad Shabbos the movie would end after 20 minutes with a 911 call. But that wouldn’t be a NYC story, and this most definitely is.

MovieWeb

Bad Shabbos offers a darkly comic take on family dynamics during the Sabbath but falls flat with a predictable ending. Talented veteran actors add humor to the mix, but the film struggles to resonate beyond those familiar with Jewish traditions.

Rated: 2/5
