Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter While there's a potentially moving emotional component at the heart of Braking for Whales, it's buried amid a sea of plot eccentricities that don't pay off. Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Tara McNamara Common Sense Media Mature sibling road trip dramedy focuses on sexuality. Rated: 3/5 May 4, 2020 Full Review Mark Goodyear Battle Royale With Cheese Braking for Whales has the potential to speak to many people. Yes, there are flaws, but by the end, there's a certain enlightenment, and that's more than enough to make this film a good one. May 2, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Pete K It was awful. If you laugh hysterically at the SNL sketches, you might find some of this funny, but I didn't think so. Every joke was raunchy, and anything pure and decent was mocked or parodied. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/28/23 Full Review Kyle M The well-cast dynamic, being the only likable presence, provides pleasant comedy as they wittedly shake off pass those thinly coerced narrative moments that are usually sour ingredients under poor, offensive substances. (B) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was weird, twisted, strange, off the wall, weird and just outright crazy. But it was amazing. I loved it. Truly different than anything I have ever seen, but I loved it. It was amazing. Truly amazing. Not for the family with some of the stuff in here, but I have never laughed so hard in my life. It's worth watching. A 5 star. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review emm c Felton and Sursok both Rocked it, but this is a terrible movie with bad scenes and a lousy plot Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is awful. The dialogue completely ruins what could maybe be an alright movie. The characters are super unlikeable and everything is super cliche Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful feel-good movie with some heart wrenching moments that make you fall in love with the characters Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
