Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 04/24/2020
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Julian S @akajulianscott Feb 19 A road trip film that’s fairly enjoyable but plays it safe, touching on family dysfunction without fully exploring it, despite ample opportunity for a deeper dive. See more Pete K 07/28/2023 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. See more Kyle M 04/13/2023 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) See more 04/17/2021 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. See more Emm C @EmmCee 11/28/2020 Felton and Sursok both Rocked it, but this is a terrible movie with bad scenes and a lousy plot See more 11/18/2020 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 See more Read all reviews
