While there's a spark of intrigue to the concept of "Bad Therapy," it's too broad and shallow and never pursues its furthest, most outrageous ends. Ultimately, it's just not worth psychoanalyzing.

Rated: 2/4

[Bad Therapy] contains so many promising elements that it's a shame that it never figures out how to mold them into a satisfying shape.

Rated: 1.5/4

"Bad Therapy" is the cinematic equivalent of lukewarm water.

Bad Therapy is a dark comedy that is the film equivalent of a soft dim light.

Next Best Picture

Bad Therapy is a muddled film that is tripped up by its poorly executed screenplay and underdeveloped characters.

Oh, man - this movie is great! Rob Corddry who I love in everything comedic he's done, nails this dramatic role. No surprise Alicia Silverstone also delivers, but major kudos to Michaela Watkins for her nuanced and blood-chilling performance as a troubled therapist. Hitchcock vibes throughout and laced with some dark comedic moments. Really pleasantly surprised to come across this hidden gem.

There are too many other phenomenal films to watch nowadays then to spend 1:37 Bad Therapy. The dialogue was cheesy. I was in no way connected to the characters or the plot. Seems like it was created by a high school film festival

I liked it. It was unpredictable and interesting; so un-hollywoody.

Bad Therapy never really gets out of the comfortzone of its own relationships, but does pull some surprises with its darker themes of mental health that drive the movie almost to a thriller angle. Mild recommendation.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
