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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
