      Farran Smith Nehme New York Post All this transpires in scenes that play more like skits, though some are pretty funny. Rated: 2/4 Jun 21, 2013 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times If you're watching this film and waiting for something funny or insightful to come along to assuage your annoyance, you'll wait a long time. Rated: 1/5 Jun 20, 2013 Full Review Andrew Schenker Village Voice Enjoyment of Jeff Kaplan's film will vary given your capacity to simultaneously laugh and wink at the hijinks of two of the least palatable characters to share screen time in recent years. Jun 18, 2013 Full Review Mark Bell Film Threat Stephen Schneider's Arnie is that guy who says and does the wrong thing at almost every turn, and yet somehow is ridiculously successful at what he does... Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 7, 2013 Full Review Christopher Schobert The Playlist The fact that Bert and Arnie has a few laughs, some nice performances and does not beat the viewer over the head with a slapstick-lead-pipe means it is a film worthy of respect. Rated: B Jun 27, 2013 Full Review Frank Lovece Film Journal International Even with a well-constructed story, a comedy is so hard for a newcomer to pull off that it can still fail by not getting laughs. And this indie comedy doesn't even have a well-constructed story. Jun 21, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
