Critics Consensus

Its puerile premise invites low expectations, but viewers who sit down in search of boldly humorous provocations won't leave Butt Boy brokenhearted.

Stephen Romei

The Australian

It touches on addiction, compulsion, career emptiness and, at its heart, loneliness...

Rated: 3.5/5

Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

Instead of a gross-out gag fest, Butt Boy is a surprisingly tender bizarro comedy that works because it plays the strangeness straight.

Rated: 3/5

Variety

If your sense of humor favors stupid ideas done smartly... "Butt Boy" offers pleasures that aren't even all that guilt-inducing.

Next Best Picture

So committed to playing its absurd premise completely straight that it actually works on its own terms, never once feeling like a so bad its good guilty pleasure.

Rated: 7/10

Jason Shawhan

Nashville Scene

This is a police-procedural deadpan horror-comedy that aims to scratch every itch that it can. This is an imaginative and surreal dive into the subconscious, and you can handle it.

Flickering Myth

In leaning heavily into the idea of playing the premise straight, Butt Boy finds itself as even more of a one-joke movie than it already was.

Rated: 2/5

This movie… this movie right here. Masterpiece… if you consider a masterpiece to be a very nice piece of trash. Good trash though, like when someone sits a perfectly good waffle iron on the sidewalk. Most people walk by not noticing, but few will stop and think “it might work”… and it does. It makes good waffles.

This movie is asinine (sorry). Cop and criminal meet in AA held in what seems to be an abandoned warehouse...really. Criminal gains weird sexual fetish/super power after a colonoscopy...yikes. The doctor must have used the whole fist....moon river... Cop enjoys peeping...their a perfect pair. This movie was slow and a bit too much to swallow or shove...

I watched it with many different friends over the last six months! Can't get enough of it. It is absurd, the lighting and music are fantastic, totally worth it.

"Butt Boy” is a film I never anticipated watching, nor did I think it would ever actually come into existence. What a disaster it turned out to be. The storyline and script were so poorly executed that it rendered the film nearly impossible to endure. It became a struggle to follow the plot or connect with the characters, leading to a frustrating and emotionally taxing experience. The cast was equally disappointing. Their performances were lackluster and the casting choices baffling. Each time they appeared on screen, it felt like an exercise in agony, making you want to either tear your hair out or cover your eyes. The film was simply intolerable and, quite frankly, unwatchable. The director and screenwriter squandered their time and resources on this abysmal project. I cannot recommend this film to anyone. If I could rate it lower than zero, I would, but alas, I’m stuck giving it at least half a star—although it deserves much less than that. It is an utterly dreadful film.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
