Critics Consensus

This late-capitalism comedy is undeniably uneven, but Zoey Deutch's effervescent performance gives Buffaloed wings.

Proof that Zoey Deutch can carry a film...

Buffaloed churns with barely-controlled chaos in its best sequences.

Rated: 3/4

This low rent She-Wolf of Wall Street is not without its charms - it's hard not to find some room in one's heart for a film that works so hard to restore the word "jagoff" to popular usage.

Rated: 2/5

Buffalo’ed is far from a scathing take on capitalism but revealing in its attitudes, as it ultimately punishes an enterprising young woman for her unyielding determination.

Vague Visages

A movie that, while certainly not endorsing the criminal activities of its characters, never judges them for it, and there’s something much more righteous about Peg fleecing fools out of their money rather than a Jordan Belfort doing the same.

Buffaloed is a fun flick that proves, once again, that Zoey Deutch is a force to be reckoned with.

I wasn't sold. The story creates this depiction of this character that 'successfully' operates these enterprises. However, these often end in failure. The only win was at the end. This was when she got everyone arrested (including herself) in a "rico trial" which is overused. Then at the last point she has a private monologue after apparently owning the game. This monologue goes on about how she owns you and things of that nature. It didn't leave me threatened. She didn't successfully do a whole lot other than screw over the people around her and mostly cause more problems than she started.

Very familiar storyline for 2025 tht doesn’t do much to separate itself other than explain a lot about Buffalo and the people who live there. It’s always good to see a trashy person beat the odds and succeed, even if they are from Buffalo.

As much as I genuinely liked the storyline & dialogue, the delivery was all too often cheesy. Zoey Deutch (main character), in particular, comes off woefully insufferable… The acting is like a disney sitcom. Bummer.

A fun reflection on Buffalo, NY through the eyes of debt collectors. It was entertaining, but it was also crude making it hard to recommend to others. It did make me want to visit Buffalo and try those original wings like the Judge talked about. Saw on HBO.
